Ethnography and Virtual Worlds: A Handbook of Method by Bonnie Nardi, Tom Boellstorff, Celia Pearce

4.0

I was assigned this book for a class I took that offered an introduction to ethnographic methods. This handbook provides a succinct, easy to read, and helpful entry into the method of ethnography, with a particular emphasis on research conducted in virtual worlds (e.g. Second Life); however, this book is designed to be beneficial to anybody pursuing ethnographic research. While you may want to read additional, more thorough texts to get a better grasp on the particulars, this book is an excellent beginner's guide to ethnography.
