THE CRYSTAL BEADS MURDER - Murder Mystery for Inspector Stoddart (Thriller Classic)

'This book provides a fascinating and comprehensive account of the epidemiology, psychology and sociology of drinking amongst young Europeans. It conceptualises and explains the complex variations in and dynamics of adolescent drinking patterns and related problems, and is full of intelligent observations that will appeal to researchers, policy makers and practitioners'.   David Moore, National Drug Research Institute, Australia  'This book provides a very valuable contribution by offering a variety of approaches and analyses to assess young people’s drinking behaviour. It not only demonstrates how youth drinking differs across countries, gender and social classes, but also enables us to better understand cultures of drinking and intoxication among young people in Europe.'  Ingeborg Rossow, Norwegian Institute for Alcohol and Drug Research, Norway  'I recommend this book as an important source of information detailing current efforts to understand youth drinking cultures...Many of the chapters report original analyses of pertinent qualitative and quantitative surveys.' Drug and Alcohol Review  '...the book offers a new map of European youth drinking, based on cultures of intoxication and cultures of non-intoxication...A key finding from the book concerns the mainstreaming of intoxication within the leisure patterns of many young people...This book reveals that tension in the contrast between broad-brush national comparisons based on ESPAD and HBSC on the one hand, and discussions of youth drinking cultures framed around the 'lifestylization' of drinking and drunkenness on the other... The findings communicated here set us off in the right direction' Leisure Studies  'The book provides a tightly focused discussion of a major issue of health and social policy concern in contemporary Europe...a timely, balanced and very useful contribution to the academic, public and policy debates on "binge drinking", and I have no doubt that it will be used widely for both teaching

The National Register of Historic Places transformed historic preservation in the United States. John Sprinkle's lively history of the formulation of the Register's criteria of significance transforms our understanding of policies fundamental to the modern preservation movement and historic preservation's own rich history.— Carter L. Hudgins, Director, Clemson University/College of Charleston Graduate Program in Historic Preservation
In this nuanced look into the origins of the National Register criteria, Sprinkle shows the fascinating evolution of ideas for determining a property’s significance in American history. Sprinkles’ meticulous historical approach and mastery of an amazing body of evidence allows him to explore the many test cases and dilemmas faced by the early preservation community. His close reading and critical eye will help students and professionals alike to understand this bedrock of preservation policy. — Donald W. Linebaugh, Professor and Area Chair, Graduate Program in Historic Preservation, University of Maryland
Sprinkler’s distinctive contribution is in his foregrounding of the criteria and the politics and personalities that inflected their crafting. The book comes out at a time when all kinds of non-economic values in the public realm are being classified and assessed. The wonderful and revealing detail of this book can function, therefore, to caution against the authority enjoyed by those ‘neutral’ frameworks that assume to work on behalf of us all. — Gareth Hoskins, Aberystwyth University
“[Sprinkle’s] book opens new perspectives on the history of our preservation processes and assumptions. I predict it will be a springboard for future students and scholars…”-Greg Donofrio, University of Minnesota, USA
“History can be dry. Not so for Sprinkle’s terrific book.” -Jay Roberts, Jaybird's Jottings

’Space Odysseys brings together challenging and fascinating perspectives on the condition of the world, both local and global. While re-assessing the traditional contours of modern views of space and exploring the boundaries and possibilities opened up by new socio-spatial processes and realities, the book creatively engages with the 'new modalities' of space in the post 9/11 world. This should be an essential text for all those interested in spatial theory.’ Erik Swyngedouw, Professor of Geography, Oxford University.      ’This momentous collection of original essays by leading scholars on mobility, territoriality, identity and the spatial production of knowledge moves our understandings of space and place onto new ground. Providing fresh theoretical insights grounded in empirical research, the book will be very useful for advanced students as well as researchers engaged in some of the most crucial issues of today.’  Eric Clark, Professor and Head of the Department of Social and Economic Geography, Lund University, Sweden  ’...a dynamic and engaging collection of cross-disciplinary essays...a very worthwhile and challenging book...I anticipate it as being of great relevance to anyone with an interest in spatial theory.’ Social and Cultural Geography

"Impressive work on an increasingly important topic. - Choice

A masterly survey and synthesis of the social science scholarship on the issues entailed in problematising borders and boundaries.  It is destined to become a classic of the genre. - Social Anthropology

The book helps to further our understanding of the nation and state, migrant labour, ethnic and national identity, the gendering of borders and border conflicts, with the nation state affected by the threats of regionalism and ethno-nationalism on the one hand and supranationalism on the other. - The Times Higher"

'Written with élan, clarity and confidence, this book is at the cutting edge of "second generation" postmodernism: ethically serious, historically aware, theoretically and critically informed. In this outstanding piece of literary research, Crosthwaite has found a way of articulating both a vital influence on contemporary culture and an important historical debt.'
