Participant Observation is a central and defining method of research in cultural anthropology, as well as a common feature of qualitative research in other disciplines--sociology, education, health sciences. The authors provide the basic guide to the participant observation field methods of collection of systematic data in naturalistic settings--communities in many different cultures. It is a valuable primer for the beginning researcher, as well as a reference for the experienced ethnographer.
