Harmony, Scout, Zombie Joshua, Em, and Encore are now enrolled as
students at Quarry Bank University. At first, it seems like
university life is all drugs, sex and relationship drama. But when

the Ritalin Club find themselves caught in a trip that may cost
them their very lives.
This edited volume builds upon the premise that online learning is
not separate from the social and material world, and is made up of
embodied, socially-meaningful experiences. It is founded on a
"postdigital" perspective in which, much more than interactions
with keyboards, computer screens, hardware or software, the
learning that happens on online postgraduate programmes spills out
into professional and informal settings, making connections with
what comes before and after any formally-scheduled tasks. Unlike
other books relating to online education, this book combines a
theoretical perspective, in which the digital, physical and social
are all interconnected within complex educational ecologies, with a
focus grounded in postgraduate practice. This focus has important
implications for the kinds of students and learning that are
explored in the chapters of the book. This book provides an
important contribution to the knowledge of what is required to
produce quality, online postgraduate programmes at the level of
teachers, curriculum designers, faculty developers and
policy-makers.
Sociology and Occupational Therapy is the first book on sociology
specifically designed to introduce Occupational Therapy students at
undergraduate and postgraduate level to areas of sociology relevant
to the theory and practice of OT. It provides a beginners guide to
the relevant literature and explains how the sociological theory
impacts on the practice of OTs in the widest sense. It makes use of
the knowledge and expertise of Sociologists and Occupational
Therapists to explain key concepts and their relevance to practice.
With activities provided at the end of each chapter the student is
encouraged to make their own links with between the text and their
experience of OT practice and everyday life.Specifically for

Since the events of September 11, 2001 the United States military
counternetwork operations, theory, and doctrine have failed to
account for the form, function, and logic of clandestine cellular
networks used by both interstate insurgencies, such as those in
Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as by global insurgencies, like al
Qaeda and its associated movements. The failure to understand the
form, function, and logic of clandestine cellular networks has led
to the incorrect application of counternetwork theories.
Counternetwork operations specifically targeting key leaders,
facilitators, individuals with special skills, or highly connected
individuals, intuitively seem to be the correct targets for
disconnecting clandestine cellular networks. However, there has
been little comparative analysis done to verify if these operations
are in fact having the overall effect required to disrupt,
neutralize, defeat, or ultimately destroy these networks.
Understanding the form, function, and logic of clandestine cellular
networks reveals that the removal of single individuals, regardless
of function, is well within the tolerance of this type of
organizational structure and thus has little long-term effect. At
the same time, highly connected nodes violate the principles of
clandestine operations since they are obviously highly visible when
compared to a competent clandestine practitioner that does not want
a discernable signature in order to remain hidden from the
counterinsurgent. Thus, by focusing on the highly connected
individuals as high priority targets, US efforts have effectively
"culled the herd" of poor clandestine practitioners. These two
examples provide the two most common errors in the current
counternetwork theories and operations, and the errors are all due
to a lack of a systemic understanding of clandestine cellular
networks. This monograph uses a modified process-trace methodology
to analyze the form, function, and logic of clandestine cellular
networks in order t
BITE: Recipes for remarkable research is an edited field book
capturing the research, learning and experiences of an
international network of scholars studying effective and creative
research environments. The book encapsulates what it is that
enables remarkable research, and offers, as Professor Lizbeth
Goodman says, practical, evidence-based instantiations of ideas and
innovations as well as theoretical knowledge. It is set out as a
recipe book, with supporting academic papers and case studies. The
recipes present research and advice from a wide range of subject
areas in an instantly recognisable format. Each recipe enables the
reader to take practical steps to understand and develop their own
research at all levels, from personal solo work and group
collaborations, to an institutional and architectural dimension.
Whether you are a PhD student, early career researcher, professor
or decision-maker, these recipes, case studies and papers invite
you to consider research habits, approaches and environments in
interesting and different ways."
