One of the best!

In fact, I checked number of books on action research, but I didn't find as easy to follow and clear as this one. Don't think twice, whether it is your first time to do action research project or the second, this book worth buying. Warning: don't buy the digital version unless you can't wait until your receive your copy of this book. last month I bought the digital version and today I purchased the book version. Why? Because it is an excellent book that makes the action research process painless, it drives from step to another making sure you covere all the areas you need to consider when doing your action research. Finally, because I'm planning to do my PhD, I will need something handy that I can flip easily while doing my action researches. Thank you JEAN MCNIFF, you make my life much easier!
