In 216 pages, the authors weave together rural theory, field-tested strategies, and candid reflections to help both novice and seasoned researchers navigate small communities, sparse populations, and place-based identities.

This copy shows gentle classroom use: a smooth, uncracked spine and pages free of highlighting or dog ears. A handful of pages carry light pencil underlining and margin notes, offering unobtrusive clues to earlier readers’ insights without obscuring the text.
