In this elegant how-to book, the authors expand and deepen our understanding of ethnography and provide novices with a set of exercises and hands-on ways for getting the seat of their pants dirty in the social world. It explores emerging methodological approaches and challenges in ethnography, like studying people for whom life often happens more online than off it. Like a good cookbook, what it does best is simple: it makes you want to get into the kitchen.
