Synopsis

Lonner and Berry have provided field workers - both those already in the field and those contemplating going into the field - with a handy, comprehensive, practical and up-to-date guide. It is an exhaustive statement of epistemological and methodological issues; a review of what has succeeded for many and failed for others; and an overview of common interests and questions that occur during the cross-cultural research project.
