Five chapters have been substantially revised, and the appendix s annotated bibliography includes new titles in research methods. Graduate students and established scholars from all disciplines will find this resource an innovative compendium of ideas for the representationand presentation of qualitative data. As the authors demonstrate, when researchers think display, their analyses of social life capture the complex and vivid processes of the people and institutions studied.
