Reviews for Fieldwork
"Fieldwork stands as an informative, highly readable work which should be well-received by both beginners and experienced researchers in a wide spectrum of social sciences... No other work, in my opinion, so comprehensively covers the entire range of tasks
from tape speeds to ethics
required of the field investigator."
Thomas A. Green, Western Folklore
