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. He 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. $57.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415601894, NZRP$72.00 Publish August 2011, 208 pages Routledge Quantity Education

Adolescents at the turn of the 21st century are being raised in an internet-enabled world where blogs, social networking, and instant messaging are competing with traditional communication as the dominant means through which personal interaction takes place.

The mission of this book is to explore the many critical issues surrounding this new phenomenon. $52.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415892377, NZRP$66.00 Publish August 2011, 224 pages Routledge Quantity Education

Due to the influence of post-structuralism and postmodernism in the social sciences, there have emerged and developed a further range of framings which are more relational, system and practicefocussed. Several of these framings work with a non-linear understanding of causality and embrace unpredictability in the world and undecidability in our understanding of it. This book explores these framings, how they are being taken up in research in education and learning across the lifecourse, as well as their possibilities and limitations. $55.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415570923, NZRP$69.95 Publish August 2011, 232 pages Quantity Routledge Education

Karl D. Hostetler, University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Successfully launching an academic career in the challenging environment of higher education today is apt to require more explicit preparation than the informal socialization typically afforded in graduate school. Job success requires balancing multiple demands on one’s time and energy. New Faculty offers a useful compendium of “survival” advice for the faculty newcomer on a variety of subjects: practical tips on classroom teaching, student performance evaluation, detailed advice on grantwriting, student advising, professional service, and publishing. $37.00 Pb, ISBN 9780230114869, NZRP$47.00 Publish August 2011, 320 pages Palgrave Macmillan Quantity Education

The simple premise of this book is that the purpose of education is to serve the well-being of students. Karl D. Hostetler asks: What does it mean for a human being to live a good life, to experience well-being? How, as individuals and a society, can we debate and evaluate the quality of lives? What classroom practices would be conducive to furthering the welfare of our students? Hostetler explores how teachers can “seduce” students’ souls, guiding and provoking while still respecting individuals’ rights to conceive and live a fulfilling life for themselves. $41.00 Pb, ISBN 9781441149602, NZRP$52.00 Publish August 2011, 256 pages Continuum Quantity Education

Aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students of history this is the ideal introduction to studying history as an academic subject at university. Doing History presents the ideas and debates that shape how we do history today, covering arguments about the nature of historical knowledge and the function of historical writing, whether we can really ever know what happened in the past, what sources historians depend on, and whether historians’ versions of history have more value than popular histories. $27.00 Pb, ISBN 9780415565776, NZRP$38.00 Publish August 2011, 224 pages Routledge Quantity History

Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason remains one of the landmark works of Western philosophy. Most philosophy students encounter it at some point in their studies but at nearly 700 pages of detailed and complex argument it is also a demanding and intimidating read. James O’Shea’s short introduction to CPR aims to make it less so. Aimed at students coming to the book for the first time, it provides step by step analysis in clear, unambiguous prose. The conceptual problems Kant sought to resolve are outlined, and his conclusions concerning the nature of the faculty of human knowledge and possibility of metaphysics, and the arguments for those conclusions, are explored. $27.00 Pb, ISBN 9781844652792, NZRP$38.00 Publish August 2011, 192 pages Acumen Publishing Quantity Philosophy
