Massimiliano Tarozzi is Co-Director of the Development Education Research Centre at IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, University College London, UK, and Professor in the Department for Life Quality Studies, University of Bologna, Italy.

Tarozzi's encyclopedic knowledge of grounded theory makes this a great book for both methodologists interested in studying the evolution of this approach as well as for students interested in reading a clear description of one way to conduct studies using grounded theory. By showing how he analyzed the data in his own study of how families manage children's television watching, Tarozzi shows the elegant complexities of using grounded theory to systematically analyze data and build theory from the ground up.
