After reading "Lovely Rita's Cafe" I felt young again, like time
stood still. The people, the places, and the experiences were so
familiar. It resurrected memories that I thought I had lost in the
haze of the 70's. Anyone who grew up in this unique time will find
this book fresh, funny, and so very real. Whether you are a frisbee
enthusiast or just curious about the free spirit, groovy lifestyle
that surfaced in so many small towns all over America, you will
thoroughly enjoy this read, BUT NO WAY WOULD I LET MY CHILDREN READ
IT -Julie Webber, Landscape Designer I think Ms. Wild has uniquely
captured the feel and essence of a special time, bringing to life a
singular culture in a way that everyone can connect with. As young
men and women we all have that special group that comes to identify
us in a time and a place, those experiences that define us and make
us what we are. Her concise prose and touching insights into the
life and exploits of Rita VanKamp immediately transport me to a
self I too often forget, reminding me of all those things I did and
overcame and that are part of what I am. We can all benefit from a
story like this, smiling memories beyond thirty second solutions.
You didn't have to be part of the frisbee culture to enjoy this
hilarious and touching story. I think anyone who reads "Lovely
Rita's Cafe" will be renewed again. Afterward a smile will come to
their face when they see a young person going off to school or
struggling to make their way in this complicated world we live in.

"Ethical Dilemmas in Educational Research is a valuable resource
for both researchers and supervisors. Having myself sat on a
university ethics committee, I appreciate not only the
considerations needed when approving applications but also the
controversy around what could be viewed as undue restrictions on
research. The real-life and hypothetical dilemmas presented in this
book should help guide researchers towards effective but ethically
sensitive designs. This book not only provides useful information
on the researcher's responsibilities regarding their participants,
but also includes the importance of addressing their own wellbeing
during the research process, something that is often overlooked."
Dr Katy Smart CPsychol AFBPsS, Department of Psychiatry, University
of Oxford, UK Ethical Dilemmas in Educational Research is an
invaluable guide for educational researchers around the world,
helping to develop best practices and make informed decisions. This
book demonstrates how a careful balance must be struck between the
needs of participants, increasing regulatory guidelines and the
academic freedom of the educational researcher. The authors discuss
an array of issues arising in the field of educational research,
including: ethical dilemmas in action, issues of agency and
privacy, and researcher reflexivity. With a foreword by Professor
Ian Menter, this book goes beyond the guidelines and focuses on the
specific dilemmas that educational researchers face, illustrated
with real-life and inclusive examples. The book: Focuses on the
resolution of ethical dilemmas in educational research, and not
just the dilemmas themselves Highlights the role of committees and
guidelines, with an emphasis on misunderstandings and common
purposes Is written by academics from differing theoretical and
methodological perspectives and disciplines across the spectrum of
educational research Presents specific dilemmas encountered during
research in the early years, schools and universities The authors
use these ideas to build on the foundations of an ethical approach
and find new ways of working together and learning from one
another, to ensure best practice in the educational research field
and forge a more united forward path. Carol Brown is Chair of the
Cross University Research Ethics Subcommittee at Oxford Brookes
University, UK. Mary Wild is Professor in Education and former Head
of the School of Education at Oxford Brookes University, UK.
