Originally published in 1986, this work examines how key figures
such as Garfinkel, Sacks and Cicourel have revolutionised thinking
about how sociology's presuppositions about 'being social' are
grounded. Yet until the appearance of this book there were no clear
and authoritative introductions to the main thinkers in the field
or their work. In assessing the critical reception of
Ethnomethodology, Sharrock and Anderson argue persuasively that
much is wide of the mark - as they say, the real argument has yet
to begin.

John Thomas Rourke's world is now roughly one-third of what it was;
everything above latitude 35 north and below latitude 35 south is
encased in glacial ice. The geography drastically changed but
little else did. Maniacs and evil had still tried to dominate those
who wanted to be free. Days became weeks, weeks became months and
months turned into years as he battled and vanquished the enemies
of humanity in every form and shape damnation threw at him. His
last victory, almost seventeen years ago, granted him peace-a peace
he had courted, a peace he had sought-one he never believed he
would find. That peace is about to end; Rourke's world is
threatened again by forces he never conceived of. Are they so
unpredictable-situations so dire-there is no way to "plan ahead?"

On February 1st, 2021 tanks appeared on the streets of Burmese
cities and the people of Burma are once again involved in a
seemingly endless struggle for justice and democracy waged against
a brutal military regime. Journeys on the Edge traces the growth of
Mobile Education Partnerships, an educational charity built from
scratch by teachers, which became an international award-winning
organisation. It is, in fact, an adventure on many levels,
physical, emotional and spiritual. MEP works with communities 'on
the edge' many displaced by war, poverty and oppression inside
Burma (aka Myanmar) and on the Thai/Burma border. Importantly, this
is not a sentimental presentation of 'victimhood' but a very
candid, sympathetic and human exploration of how an organisation
was built in these challenging circumstances. Neither is it a
handbook on how to build a charity. It does, however, offer a
ground-level guide to anyone who wishes to go down that road. This
is a story which provides a fascinating insight into this tragic,
violent and at times bizarre world drawing on the lives of those
directly involved, the volunteers, the refugees, the migrants, the
warlords and those of us searching for something to believe in, in
a world where the truth is elusive and the central message of
Shakespeare, that nothing is as it appears to be, serves as a
warning to all.
Bob Anderson's communication flows out of 44 years of living
experience in recovery. Gently and repetitively, he exposes the
mind-powered nature of alcoholism as he teaches about recovery. He
provides personal examples to reveal both the strange and hopeless
world of his old life as well as the transformation into a happily,
usefully whole new life by the Twelve Step Program. Although he
speaks as an alcoholic with alcoholism, he puts Twelve Step
Recovery in the reach of anyone. A Mind-Powered Disease(TM)
-Dispels the misconception that alcoholism is primarily an
inability to control drinking. -Describes how the obsessive mind
functions as a mind-powered disease and compels repeat
performances, which results in confusion and despair. -Teaches how
the application of the Twelve Step principles produces genuine
recovery and true success in life through a change of character.
-Helps the sufferer to find true happiness, freedom and peace of
mind as a way of life.
Shar Duvall was a sensational hit on Broadway by age twenty-one.
That wasn't her only passion; she was about to win the heart of her
first love. But suddenly, her storybook life was devastated by a
mysterious enemy. In one horrific evening, her dreams were turned
to ashes. Her only chance for recovery would hinge on a carefully
guarded secret buried between the pages of an old diary... and on
the undying tenacity of a new friend who refuses to believe that
Shar is a murderer.

Doc Roberts and his friend Hank set out on a search for gold and
lost treasure in the Mexican desert. Instead of finding gold, they
find trouble. They know something's out of kilter when they
encounter a strange resort in the middle of the Mexican desert.
Their suspicion is confirmed when they find murder, rape and
perversion at a level neither had seen before. They report the
crimes to the U.S. authorities. Unfortunately they fail to respond
or intervene. Both Doc and Hank are in their fifties. They are both
grandfathers, but not your typical grandfather. Doc and Hank are
two decorated military professionals, with expertise ranging from
counterterrorism to air intelligence. They are quickly faced with
making decisions that send their lives spinning off on a course
neither could have imagined. Knowing that lives are at stake and
that time is of the essence, Doc and Hank take matters into their
own hands. Using their military experience, they plan the mission
and create a tactical team, with Doc-the TAC Leader. What Honor
Requires combines modern military tactics and equipment with a
psychological analysis of crime and sexual deviance. This book
demonstrates that ordinary people can and do accomplish
extraordinary things. It's simply a case of doing what honor
requires.
