The Death and Life of Tobias Stone

’Most people have heard of ghosts: popular culture is full of them. Many people will know of someone who has seen a ghost or had a ghostly experience. Sometimes, people feel haunted, whether by tragedy or by a sense of loss. But, for a few, paranormal activity is normal activity. People do not just live with ghosts as a cultural or metaphorical or emotional figure: they actually live with ghosts. In this extraordinary book, Caron Lipman deals with extraordinary phenomena in ordinary life, in the home. Rich in testimony, ever sensitive to people’s experience, she reveals how the people who live with ghosts learn to accommodate them - and how, consequently, we all deal with strangers and strangeness in our lives.’ Steve Pile, The Open University, UK  ’What does it mean to share your home with a ghost? Caron Lipman’s answers to this question are thought-provoking and insightful. Foregrounding people’s own experiences and beliefs in her exploration of the uncertain boundary between material and immaterial geographies, she challenges much current thinking about home and subjectivity in this highly original and beautifully written book.’ Ann Varley, UCL (University College London), UK  'Large portions of this book, especially the interviews with the experients, will be of great interest to students of folklore, and should be of interest to psychical researchers and one often gets the sense that there are important insights here'.

Mark Vagle’s book is sure to be the go-to source for those who want to do phenomenological research in the social sciences. He not only explains the genealogy of phenomenological theories but also provides hands-on, practical examples of how they permeate a life, how they take hold in one’s bones, how they create a new way of being with the world. Vagle’s approach is joyous but also careful, critical, and contemporary as he extends phenomenology, opening it up to new imaginings demanded by21st century inquiry.
Elizabeth A. St.Pierre, University of Georgia
The gift that phenomenology offers us is vitality, a way of knowing our world that acknowledges the emotions, histories, and interests that animate our lives. Mark Vagle brings that lifefullness right into his text. His scholarship serves his interest in sharing the possibilities of this work with us, and so he builds a bridge between its foundations, their interpretations, and our understanding, and he interprets their use and application in educational research with imagination. Reconciling description and interpretation in his approach, Vagle’s phenomenology is animated and accessible without being simplified. It is a wonderful achievement and a significant contribution to the practice of phenomenological research in education.
Madeleine R. Grumet, Professor of Education and Communication Studies, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Having edited a major qualitative journal for over 15 years, I know many qualitative researchers claim to be using phenomenology. Unfortunately, most are not and don’t even really understand it. Mark Vagle does, and in this volume he sets out—in a warm, personable manner—to help others to understand it through careful explanations and numerous examples. Stop claiming what you don’t know and read this book. If you do, you could actually learn to be a phenomenologist.

’Adapting Idols is a rich and complex world tour of the Idol phenomenon in a variety of forms and across a range of topics, from fan activities in the Netherlands and China to the role of ethnicity in Australian and Czech adaptations. This collection is a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in the glocalisation of television brands, media convergence and the production of authenticity in popular media.’ Bethany Klein, University of Leeds, UK  'Given the demonstrated and continuing importance of music-based reality television (think One Direction), this book is a timely and solid contribution to the topic. The chapters provide a wide range of national case studies, each tied into a broader organisational scheme that is both effective and engaging.'  Charles Fairchild, University of Sydney, Australia  ’... a wide range of fascinating case studies, thereby showing not only the relevance of studying global television formats to grasp the complex processes of globalisation but also the richness of the material in spite of the format’s rather superficial and generic character ... we can only look forward to more of such inspiring research'.

“The editors have to be commended for successfully achieving the daunting task of compiling and editing this large volume of mostly modern knowledge regarding the various economic mineral deposits in North Africa. The book is suitable for academic researchers as well as for mineral explorationists interested in exploring the mineral potential of the northern part of the African continent. The book would be an important addition to libraries of institutions catering to economic geology education or practice.” (John Carranza, Natural Resources Research, February, 2017)“This unique book is a compilation of modern scientific articles on a full spectrum of metallic and non-metallic deposits in North Africa. … The writing is strongly augmented by many geologic maps, cross sections, and field and petrographic photographs. … Extensive references support each chapter. This exemplary volume deserves a place in the libraries of economic geologists the world over. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through researchers and faculty; professionals.” (T. L. T. Grose, Choice, Vol. 54 (4), December, 2016)
