"Fifty Years of Living and Doing Transformative Inquiry Through Action Research draws on author John Bilorusky's liftetime experiences of conducting action research in real-world settings. The two volumes (this book and Transformative Inquiry Through Action Research in Practice) comprehensively lay out the principles of and examine case studies in action research. In doing so, they address a whole host of situational complexities which are often encountered in doing action-research in a "real world" setting. The books discuss in detail very specific techniques such as interviewing, but also articulate fundamental principles of action research which must be adapted to varying circumstances, without reducing strategies to formulas. In showcasing action research in educational, health, governmental and other settings, this book will be suitable for students coming to action research for the first time and for researchers wanting to widen their knowledge and experience of this method in practice"-- Provided by publisher.
