Nel cuore della notte John Ford riceve una chiamata dal suo capo: 'Sta' a sentire. C'è un problema e non si può risolvere. Devi sparire.' Ma John non è conosciuto con il suo nome, bensì con quello di Stephen Sutler. Lavora in Iraq come responsabile del progetto della HOSCO, una società inglese che ha appena ottenuto un appalto per vendere materiale per la ricostruzione. La missione di Sutler è spostare il denaro della HOSCO su nuovi conti correnti. Appena le transazioni sono finite, nella base avviene una fragorosa esplosione e Sutler riesce a scappare oltre la frontiera turca. Da questo momento continua a cambiare identità, anche perché è accusato di aver rubato cinquantatré milioni di dollari alla HOSCO... La sua storia si intreccia con quella di un omicidio avvenuto a Napoli, proprio com'era stato descritto nelle parole di un libro il cui autore è scomparso. E se quello che succede in questo libro fosse misteriosamente legato alla realtà? Chi è veramente Stephen Lawrence Sutler? E se fosse solo un nome per più persone, un'identità di copertura per una truffa gigantesca? Romanzo postmoderno, enigma labirintico, 'Sutler' è il primo di quattro romanzi di un'opera monumentale, 'The Kills'.

Beginning Interpretive Inquiry importantly makes the distinction between the use of ‘inquiry’ rather than interpretive research or interpretive evaluation. Richard Morehouse explores how inquiry is a far more inclusive concept that allows for a detailed understanding of both research and evaluation. The author draws on his personal experiences and observations that many academics and practitioners in education, psychology and many other academic disciplines are successfully engaged in both research and evaluation and that in practice these enterprises share much in common. This book provides detailed examples of different projects; some that are primarily research oriented, others that are primarily evaluation; and projects that effectively and seamlessly combine both research and evaluation.

Having provided a solid philosophical foundation for an understanding of interpretive inquiry, the author gives a detailed and accessible step-by-step approach that explores all stages of the process including:

• How the processes of interpretive inquiry fit together
• Understanding where inquiry ideas come from
• How to develop an appropriate inquiry sample
• Data collection mechanisms
• Effective data analysis
• Writing successfully for publication

Complete with case studies of a wide variety of interpretive inquiry projects this vital new book is an essential tool for researchers from a wide range of disciples. It will help them plan, conduct and evaluate research that successfully blends both qualitative and quantitative approaches.

With an eye to professional development and public school reform, The National Research council offers K-12 science instructors a multidisciplinary look at how and when children best learn science and how to do it. Among other things, the 11 chapters explain that young children think both concretely and abstractly, a notion largely ignored in current curricula, and that students' implicit pre-schooling knowledge of the natural world plays a critical role in their science learning. The text concludes with recommendations for new directions in policy, practice, and research. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
