Congratulations to editors Vivian Martin and Astrid Gynnild on the publication of Grounded Theory: the Philosophy, Method, and Work of Barney Glaser.
This anthology brings together a collection of articles on classic grounded theory organized around the concept of mentoring the method. The four sections for the book are: "Teaching Grounded Theory", "Doing Grounded Theory", "Historical and Philosophical Grounding", and "Advancing Grounded Theory".
With 19 contributors, most of whom have studied with Barney Glaser; the book is a wonderful tribute to both the man and the method. It does a great job of explaining the roots of GT (exploring the life, philosophies and influences on Barney Glaser), correcting some misunderstanding about the method, and looking at advances in the method. It is useful to both the novice and the experienced researcher.

Check out these video clips from one of Barney Glaser’s Grounded Theory troubleshooting seminars. He talks about the literature review, grounded theory as a jargon, high impact variables, conceptualization, and more.

A Recently Discovered Article!
An article written by Dr. Glaser in 1965 (before Discovery of Grounded Theory) is now available on the forum. It demonstrates that Dr. Glaser already had conceived and written about all the basic principles of grounded theory before his work with Anselm Strauss. If you are a member of the GTI you can read it now on the forum.
