Matthew B. Miles, a social psychologist, had a career-long interest in educational reform and strategies for achieving it (Miles, 1992). His first full-scale venture into qualitative research was a 4-year study of the creation of six new, innovative public schools (Miles, 1980; Miles et al., 1978). His "attractive nuisance" paper (Miles, 1976b) was at the same time a rueful reflection and a sort of manifesto to follow.Michael Huberman's long-term interests were in scientific epistemologyhow scientific theories are developed and validatedand in adult cognition and knowledge use. His first extensive qualitative project was a 4-year study of an experimental elementary school seeking to implement Piagetian theories in a classroom setting (Huberman, 1978, 1980). His reflections/manifesto paper (Huberman, 1981b) spoke of the "splendors and miseries" of qualitative research.
