&quot;An original and penetrating study of the evolution of the global watch industry. Glasmeier takes us from the Swiss watch industry to the world of electronics in the last years of the 20th century. She has created a remarkable story of an industry and its regions.&quot; --Gordon L. Clark, Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography, University of Oxford&quot;Amy Glasmeier has written an excellent historical synthesis of the institutional and organizational conditions that have shaped industrial development and international competition in the watch industry over the past two centuries. This book is an important addition to a small but growing number of industry case studies that show how the same social forces that supported national industrial leadership in the past can inhibit responses to international competitive challenges. Glasmeier has provided a thought-provoking study of both the sources of institutional inertia and the dynamics of industrial change.&quot; --William Lazonick, Euro-Asia Research Centre, INSEAD, Fontainebleau, France&quot;This book takes on all of the big questions in industrial history and geography. Along the way, it yields important insights into how knowledge is produced and contested within specific industrial cultures; how market 'signals' are received and understood, depending on how they are transmitted and by whom; and the thousand things that can go right or wrong in an industry--with immense consequences for people and the places in which they live.&quot; --Erica Schoenberger, Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering, Johns Hopkins University -

It takes collaboration to realize truly great projects. Caryn Brause’s new book is an insightful resource to assist architects in collaborating in innovative fashion to create excellent designs. Building on, and advancing the literature, Brause dissects the collaborative process, illuminates the key issues, and demonstrates brilliant and provocative possibilities when collaboration is orchestrated as she describes. The work is a genuine synthesis, and will be a contribution to both practice and academic realms. - Andrew Pressman, FAIA, Architect and author of Designing Relationships
Caryn Brause’s invaluable Designer’s Field Guide to Collaboration puts to rest the Fountainhead myth of the architect as solo genius, replacing him with the collaborative teams who really design today’s buildings. Her Field Guide describes the increasingly varied options for collaborating, and it offers sound advice on how to do it better. Brause couples the insights of leading researchers and writers with in-depth interviews and case studies. Her lessons for successful collaboration will help everyone from students to experienced practitioners. - Jay Wickersham, FAIA, Esq., Associate Professor of Architecture in Practice, Harvard Graduate School of Design

The Designer's Field Guide to Collaboration

'This is a timely and fascinating interdisciplinary analysis of the global development of historiography and its intersections with the role that wonder plays in processes of knowledge production.'
Claire Norton, St Mary's University, UK
'What is it that draws all peoples and cultures no matter time or place to history? And what is it that makes history such a powerful and indispensable category? In her capacious, original, and beautifully written book Marnie Hughes-Warrington argues that it is wonder. Using wonder as her analytic lens, Hughes-Warrington crafts a history of history unlike any before it weaving analysis of traditional historical texts, philosophical treaties, and other works such as film and literature that fall beyond the range typically covered in surveys of the historical discipline. In this way, Hughes-Warrington offers a history of history that ranges far beyond the quotidian limits of what might be considered 　conventional history and into the way history is utilized by different cultures in different places and different times. For Hughes-Warrington, wonder is the beginning of history, it is a disposition exercised by people in different times and places and as such it is a constant shared by all historical traditions no matter how diverse or disparate they may appear. What’s more Hughes-Warrington tells us that attunement to the wonder that underpins our historical impulse also makes us open to new and different forms of history that have yet to appear. One thing is certain, once you’ve read Marnie Hughes-Warrington’s book you will see the history of history in a whole new way: as a history filled with wonder.'
Ethan Kleinberg, Wesleyan University, USA

"To get at the sensibilities, communities, and practices of Straight Edge, Stewart employs a combination of rich fieldwork and a wide range of theoretical sources. Her basic disciplinary identification is with sociology of religion, though Stewart deftly incorporates sources ranging from Dick Hebdige on subculture to David Chidester on popular culture and religion, from Charles Taylor on secularism to Christopher Partridge on “implicit religion.” The book that results is ultimately a fine addition to the literature probing the limits of the category “religion” while also giving a vivid reading of local, organic, subcultural scenes."
Jason C. Bivins, Professor of Religious Studies at North Carolina State University.

"Empirically, the book follows its actors in all potential corners of their doing and thinking, their movements and looks, their encounters with others and themselves. Notably, it is the theme of self-encounter, which pervades the analysis. For time after time, observers are relating to themselves, to their actions and their (non-)impact, their competencies and their (inchoate) knowledge. Thus, it becomes apparent, that also the classic definition of the ‘situation’ is at stake and that the interaction with oneself should be conceived as a social situation".
Herbert Kalthoff, University of Mainz, Germany

"I find this an innovative, empirically wide-ranging and conceptually rich and developed work (…), commensurate with its broad, discipline transcending interest and potential impact. Although all kinds of textbooks, book of advice and essayistic renderings of various aspects of the research process exist – more in the humanities than in sociology – none display the same level of detail, observational perceptiveness and theoretical sensitivity to the research process and its various components as this one (…). The chapter on writing in particular comes close to a conversation analysis study of the ‘succession’ of the writing process and its many aspects, including that of generating ideas while writing and of dissociating oneself from the text and then re-appropriating it as an interaction party – as a communicative other".
Karin Knorr Cetina, University of Chicago, USA
