Book Synopsis
In this book on the construction of case studies in the field of language and literacy, the authors consider what it means to be ""on the case."" They evaluate the assumptions that ground a qualitative approach to case study methodology, the decisions in designing a case study, and the possibilities and challenges of data collection and analysis.

Trade Review
A gem of a book....It is as if the authors are holding a conversation with the reader, clearly talking through concepts and issues that regularly trip up the most seasoned researcher. This highly engaging book has something for everyone. - Sharan Merriam, University of Georgia ""The pages practically turn themselves.... This book focuses on case study but it will certainly become a critical piece that helps all researchers better understand purpose and process in their work. One cannot help but be drawn to the ideas within this book."" -Susi Long, University of South Carolina ""An ideal text for any class that addresses methodology and qualitative research. I found myself having regular 'ah-hah!' moments."" - Tamara Glupczynski, doctoral student, Teachers College, Columbia University
