Practice is the first volume of international scholarship on
autoethnography. This culturally and academically diverse
collection combines perspectives on contemporary autoethnographic
thinking from scholars working within a variety of disciplines,
contexts, and formats. The first section provides an introduction
and demonstration of the different types and uses of
autoethnography, the second explores the potential issues and
questions associated with its practice, and the third offers
perspectives on evaluation and assessment. Concluding with a
reflective discussion between the editors, this is the premier
resource for researchers and students interested in
autoethnography, life writing, and qualitative research.
THE BRILLIANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER. 'A searingly honest account
of the Arsenal legend's quest to recover from alcoholism.
Unflinchingly brave.' Sunday Mirror Being Addicted was only half
the story, now comes the stunning new autobiography from Tony
Adams, now appearing on Strictly Come Dancing. Tony Adams was a
charismatic figure on the football field, a true leader for Arsenal
and England. He won league titles in three separate decades, and
after the Gunners moved to their new stadium at the Emirates, it
was fitting that a statue of him was erected outside to celebrate
his extraordinary career. But, for much of that time, he was also
drinking heavily and eventually admitted in his book Addicted that
he was an alcoholic. Now, in that book's stunning successor Sober,
Adams reveals what happened next. He discusses the impact that
Arsene Wenger had when he arrived at Arsenal in 1996, and how the
manager's new methods helped extend his career and brought new
success to the club. Always a great thinker on the game, Adams
moved into coaching and management on retirement, playing a key
role in Portsmouth's famous FA Cup triumph in 2008, and taking on
new challenges in the Netherlands, Azerbaijan, China and now Spain
to broaden his perspective. He movingly explains the struggles he's
faced to stay sober for twenty years and why he set up Sporting
Chance, the charity which provides treatment and support for sports
stars suffering from addictions. He assesses why Arsenal have
struggled to repeat the title-winning formula of his own time
there. Sober is a truly inspirational memoir from someone who has
battled with his demons, but has continued to take things on, one
day at a time.

This book is a lucid and practical guide to understanding the core
skills and issues involved in the criminal investigation process.
Guiding students through a mock criminal investigation, each
chapter introduces a layer of the crime scene and an investigative
activity to allow students to develop a true comprehension of how
forensic and criminal investigation takes place.
Drawing on multiple disciplines and perspectives, the book
promotes a critical awareness and practical comprehension of the
intersections between criminology, criminal investigation, and
forensic science and uses active learning strategies to help
students build their knowledge and ensure that the veracity of
evidence and decision making is made clear.
The book is organised around the three key strategic phases in a
criminal investigation: Instigation and Initial Response; The
Investigation and Case Management, and each strategic phase of the
investigative process is discussed to ensure the processes and
responsibilities are relayed in a logical and practical structure.
Alongside this practical approach theoretical perspectives and
academic research are laid bare for students.
Targeted at undergraduate students studying forensic and
criminal investigation on criminology and policing course, this
book is the perfect balance of practical and theoretical
learning.
Critical Administration: Negotiating Political Commitment and
Managerial Practice in Contemporary Higher Education explores the
challenges that higher education administrators face when
negotiating political commitments in the day-to-day practice of
university life. Jay Brower and W. Benjamin Myers have collected
reflections from 12 administrators, all of whom identify as
critical/cultural scholars, about how ideological commitments
affect their identities as administrators and the work they
conduct. Contributors reflect on how their academic training helps
them understand their role as administrators in higher education in
terms of central issues surrounding power, ethics, and identity,
and how they entwine with managerial responsibilities. Each
contributor focuses on specific experiences where their managerial
duties intersect with political commitments. Ultimately, this
collection provides opportunities to observe the challenges and
opportunities of performing ethical leadership in contemporary
higher education. Scholars of education, critical/cultural
communication, and administration will find this book particularly
useful.

Who are we with-and without-families? How do we relate as children
to our parents, as parents to our children? How are parent-child
relationships-and familial relationships in general-made and (not)
maintained? Informed by narrative, performance studies,
poststructuralism, critical theory, and queer theory, contributors
to this collection use autoethnography-a method that uses the
personal to examine the cultural-to interrogate these questions.
The essays write about/around issues of interpersonal distance and
closeness, gratitude and disdain, courage and fear, doubt and
certainty, openness and secrecy, remembering and forgetting,
accountability and forgiveness, life and death. Throughout, family
relationships are framed as relationships that inspire and inform,
bind and scar-relationships replete with presence and absence, love
and loss. An essential text for anyone interested in
autoethnography, personal narrative, identity, relationships, and
family communication.
