THE FIELDWORKER AND THE FIELD (OIP)

I loved it. It is very important to look at research methodology and in field experiences, what frame our research in a manner what is desirous. One should talk about the problems facing in the field, rather than hiding it. It's a natural fact that one has to face lot of situation arising in the field. I recommend all who are in active research and training, must keep the book as your walking guide.

It is a good compilation of the first field stints of anthropologists and sociologists, the issues they faced, the moral dilemmas they had to deal with, etc. But it is a good book for entry-point fieldworkers and students, and might not add much value for those who have been fieldworkers since sometime.
