What a wonderful book. I am about to submit a proposal for my dissertation on a related subject. I wish I could see an advanced copy of this book so that I do not write on a subject already taken. I would love a copy of university addresses to provide a follow up survey for my dissertation. Any leads , so that I do not re-invent the wheel so to speak, would be greatly appreciated.
