What a wonderful book.
Thank you :)
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.
I'm not sure what the publisher's attitude would be to advance copies -- but (offlist) I can connect you with the authors whose work and chapters you might be interested in. The book will be out in August, which is not too long anyway. While not cheap, it should not be outrageously expensive for a Handbook. (Get your library to order it now!) There's info about it now only on the Sage UK site where it is listing for GBP 85 (about $150 US maybe). /Caroline
