The book is excellent in its coverage of both the reasons behind the need to use ethnography and the 'how to' of the ethnographic process. . . . People being exposed to this method for the first time will appreciate the comprehensiveness of the book., The principal strength of this book is that it is well organized and forms an excellent primer for a person, who may have no previous background in the area, to get to know about what ethnography is, why it is useful, its genesis, how to use it in various situations, and the various do's and don'ts involved in using ethnography as a tool to gather and interpret date from consumers. The various chapters on setting up a piece of ethnographic research and executing it are especially good.

The book start with an outline of the history of ethnography (or, as the author puts it, its intellectual heritage), and goes on to explore both its power and range of applications. But the bulk of the book is a detailed exploration of the practicalities of the work, including design, recruitment, logistics, site visits, and interaction with respondents. Not surprisingly, particular emphasis is put on data collection, including mapping – looking at what Mariampolski describes as the social ecology of the home or workplace – diaries, audio and video recording, and the complexities and subtleties of observation, which seems such a simple task but maybe isn’t. All in all, this is a splendid do-it-yourself guide to ethnography for use in our neck of the research woods. The book will provide a useful background to what is perhaps an ideal form of investigation, getting closer to understanding what can never be possible with groups and depths.

This book contains some theory but focuses much more on hands-on practice. The author must be praised for putting much practical wisdom into our hands. How-to research books are often long on procedure and short on interpretation. Not so with this book. Hints on analysis and developing sound answers for buyers are plentiful. The appendices are rich in material that can inspire and guide the budding ethnographer.
