Tony Bryant and Kathy Charmaz are the perfect editors for this excellent and forward looking Handbook which is surely destined to be a classic

Professor Emeritus, Goldsmiths College For anyone interested in grounded theory this is a must have book. No longer will students have to search the library or internet to find authoritative voices on a variety of topics. It's all right there at their fingertips

In my experience of supervising and examining masters and doctoral
students in the social sciences over three decades, a very large proportion
of them use or claim to use grounded theory in some form or other. It
appears to be the stock method of social science research and accepted
without question by most university teachers and authorities (let alone
students) in this field....This Handbook, at over 600 pages long, with 27 chapters (in addition to the chapter length Introduction) by more than 30 contributors, offers a vast amount of
material upon which to consider some fundamental issues...There is a very
useful 'Discursive Glossary of Terms' and (what a gem!) a thorough and detailed index

The Sage Handbook of Grounded Theory constitutes a fascinating col-lection, and the containment of each chapter makes it very amenable to 'occasional dips'...as a cornucopia of ideas in to the world of grounded theory (which is, apparently, the most frequently-cited analytical approach in qualitative research publications), this volume is unsurpassed
