The To-day and To-morrow book series (1923-1931) was a unique publishing phenomenon - over 100 short, often brilliant, books choosing a particular subject, outlining its present state, and then speculating about its future. This Reader brings together some of the best work in the series, including eleven complete volumes and substantial extracts from ten more.

To-day and To-morrow is one of the key documents of modernity. It contains some of the best writing of the twentieth century, and some of the most visionary predictions. The contributors were creative writers, scientists, inventors, philosophers, lawyers, doctors, and teachers. Included here are Bertrand Russell, Vera Brittain, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Robert Graves, and the scientists J. B. S. Haldane, J. D. Bernal, and Sir James Jeans. The topics range from emerging technologies such as the talkies, television, robotics, and drones, to speculations about future technologies like test-tube babies, artificial wombs, cyborgs, genetic modification, hormone replacement therapy, space exploration, the internet, and the possibility of hive minds. The books consider how societies will respond to such developments; how the transformations will impact on lives, relationships, beliefs, politics.

To-day and To-morrow brings new perspectives to the literature and culture of modernism and modernity for general readers, students, and scholars. It sheds new light on twentieth-century literature, culture, and society. It offers resources for teachers and students of creative writing - and everyone - facing the challenge of thinking about our future.

This accessible book offers a detailed guide to a wide range of methodological concepts, both those of a philosophical kind and those that are more technical in character: from constructionism to critical realism, grounded theory to regression analysis, odds ratios to triangulation.

It covers quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research. There are shorter entries for relatively straightforward terms and longer entries for terms that are more complex or carry more than one meaning. The book includes basic terms - such as data, empirical, fact, meaning, theory, and truth - as well as those that highlight major contemporary trends in the field, such as arts-based research, indigenous methodologies, and decolonisation. It is therefore relevant to many methodological issues and controversies taught in social science degree programmes today.

Providing clear definitions for a wide range of methodological concepts from across the social sciences, this is an essential resource for all who have an interest in social research methodology.

There are currently over 1.3 billion people globally who experience exclusion and inequality rooted in persistent and deep ableism. Quality research with and about disabled people is vital to changing this situation. Such research presents ethical challenges and complexities which have not been given the attention they deserve if we are to advance disability rights as promised by the UNCRPD and other equality and human rights commitments.

Considering important aspects of general ethical principles, including respect, consent, privacy and confidentiality, this volume of Advances in Research Ethics and Integrity fills that gap. It does so while also recognising the broad scope, diversity and significant size of the disabled population.

Experienced researchers from the field examine processes of disablement and the specificities which arise when researching the lives of people with physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments. Authors also incorporate social factors such as gender, ethnicity and age and how they interact with disability. Building from the context set by the UNCRPD and other ethical guidance, chapters explore topics such as ensuring quality in data, the importance of defining terms, ethical inclusion, use and misuse of the term vulnerability, the intersection of race and ethnicity, the role of ethics committees and other approval processes and maximising research impact.

?This book looks at how the Yiddish press sought to create Jewish-American identities for immigrant women. Shelby Shapiro focuses on two women's magazines and the women's pages in three daily newspapers, from 1913, when the first Yiddish women's magazine appeared, until 1925, when the Immigration Act of 1924 took effect. Shapiro demonstrates how newspaper editors and publishers sought to shape identity in line with their own religious or political tendencies in this new environment, where immigrants faced a broad horizon of possibilities for shaping or reshaping their identities in the face of new possibilities and constraints. External constraints included the economic situation of the immigrants, varying degrees of antisemitism within American society, while internal constraints included the variable power of traditions and beliefs brought with them from the Old World. Words to the Wives studies how publications sought to shape the direction of Eastern European Jewish immigrant women's acculturation.

Recipes are not just instructions. They also embody culture, class, belief, linguistic and literary form, and even include celebrity endorsement. Medieval and early modern recipes can be short and simple but sometimes are not - sometimes they work, and sometimes they do not. They can also be remarkably performative, imaginative, and playful. These essays explore recipes 1350-1600 from a range of perspectives and are unified by an interest in the complexity and richness of these texts.

This volume is the first of its kind. It presents new critical perspectives on medieval and early modern recipes, moving beyond concerns with utility to reframe recipes as part of a dynamic textual and intellectual culture. Contributors build on the sustained scholarly interest in recipes and bring fresh approaches to them. The thirteen essays explore topics including medical, culinary and domestic recipes and charms, as well as how they relate more generally to, for instance, book history, art, astrology and social practices.

Collectively, the essays reveal a distinctive book culture by exploring the material forms, literary and scribal practices of recipe books. This book is a significant contribution to these areas of study, increasingly central to scholarship in recent years.

Open Access versions of the following chapters will be available on publication on the Liverpool University Press website: Hannah Bower, The Brickmaker, the Tavern Keeper, and the Knight: The Role of Obscurity and Imagination in Medieval Medical Recipes and Katherine Storm Hindley, Bodies in the Recipe Collection: Interacting with Manuscript Charms in Late Medieval England

The publication of scholarly research is both a major driver of social progress and a significant industry in its own right. Scholarly research is the focus of attention for countless numbers of scholars globally and a key measure of scholarly excellence. Much has been written about the conduct of research that is designed to help scholars attain appropriate standards of rigor and relevance, and indeed craft their research outputs in ways appropriate for different venues, notably as journal articles, conference papers, book chapters, and books. However, although scholarly researchers fulfill roles other than as authors, for instance as journal reviewers and editors, there is a dearth of consolidated information about the nature of editorial work. Drawing on over two decades of experience in editing scholarly journals, the author offers a more systematic guide to scholarly journal editing.

The book begins with an introduction to the art of scholarly journal editing,the nature of that art (Chapter 1), and an examination of editorial promulgation of cultural values of scholarly journals with an emphasis on responsible research (Chapter 2). Chapter 3 examines the many issues associated with sourcing content, and opines on the novelty, breadth, and depth of research, including discussions of indigenous theorization, serendipity, iconoclastic research, and the value of special issues. Chapter 4 deals with the review process and offers advice for formulating effective reviewer guidelines that lead to constructive and developmental advice for authors. The next two chapters discuss the audience of the journal as well as publisher relations. Finally, the book is concluded with thoughts and recommendations about emerging challenges, such as the ethics of AI tools (like ChatGPT), predatory journals, and the open-access movement.

Offering a practical guide to editing scholarly journals, this book will be a key resource for scholars making the leap from researcher to editor, regardless of discipline.

Assessing Autoethnography provides readers with multiple ways to analyze autoethnographies and other forms of personal narrative writing. Given the proliferation of such forms across academic contexts, the book offers a guide of what autoethnography is, why it matters, and how to do it.

Taking each of the three parts of auto-, ethno-, and -graphy in detail, Herrmann, and Adams, provide criteria and points of discussion to ensure robust assessment of an autoethnographic work as a whole. Every chapter is accompanied with exemplars and considers issues such as ethics, storytelling, and good writing. The book discerns the kinds of personal experiences that often work best for autoethnographic projects and provide ways to evaluate fieldwork, interviews, and representations.

Written by two experts in the field, Assessing Autoethnography offers guidance to scholars and dissertation advisors, across diverse disciplines, in producing autoethnographic work and utilizing autoethnographic methods. The book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of Communication Studies, Education, Sociology, Women's and Gender Studies, Critical Race Studies, Mass Communication, English, and other related disciplines.

How Qualitative Data Analysis Happens: Moving Beyond "Themes Emerged" (Volume 2), offers an in-depth look into how qualitative social science researchers studying a wide range of human experiences and dynamics approach their data analyses. This expanded edition consists of 13 new chapters from a broad range of disciplines (and an added conclusion) that document the stories about how qualitative data analysis occurred.

Chapters for this expanded edition represent a diversity of disciplines (e.g., criminology, family science, education, health, nutrition, sociology, sport psychology) that focus on the human experience and describe a diversity of methodological approaches. These chapters may be used to introduce readers to newer or innovative ways of analysing data. It moves beyond the usual vague statement of "themes emerged from the data" to show readers how researchers actively and consciously arrive at their themes and conclusions, revealing the complexity and time involved in making sense of thousands of pages of interview data, multiple data sources, and diverse types of data. The various authors provide detailed narratives into how they analysed their data from previous publications. The methodologies range from arts-based research, autoethnography, community-based participatory research, ethnography, grounded theory, to narrative analysis. The volume allows readers to be seemingly "in the room" with these international scholars (representing Canada, the US, Austria, Germany, the UK, and the Philippines) and getting their own hands vicariously dirty with the data.

This expanded edition also includes a conclusion chapter, in which the authors reflect on commonalities across the chapters. Supplemental figures, images, and screenshots, which are referred to in the chapters, are included in an accompanying eResource (that can be accessed at www.routledge.com/9781032183213), as well as links to the previously published work on which the chapters are based. This book is an invaluable resource for experienced and novice qualitative researchers throughout the social sciences, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students in the field.

Achieving Global Open Access explores some of the key conditions that are necessary to deliver global Open Access (OA) that is effective and equitable.

Often assumed to be a self-evident good, OA has been subject to growing criticism for perpetuating global inequities and epistemic injustices. It has been seen as imposing exploitative business and publishing models and as exacerbating exclusionary research evaluation cultures and practices. Pinfield engages with these issues, recognising that the global OA debate is now not just about publishing business models and academic reward structures, but also about what constitutes valid and valuable knowledge, how we know, and who gets to say. The book argues that, for OA to deliver its potential, it first needs to be associated with 'epistemic openness', a wider and more inclusive understanding of what constitutes valid and valuable knowledge. It also needs to be accompanied by 'participatory openness', enabling contributions to knowledge from more diverse communities. Interacting with relevant theory and current practice, the book discusses the challenges in implementing these different forms of openness, the relationships between them, and their limits.

Achieving Global Open Access is essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of Library and Information Science, Open Access and Publishing. It will also be valuable and interesting to library and publishing professionals around the world.

Expanding Approaches to Thematic Analysis: Creative Engagements with Qualitative Data springboards readers into a world where generating themes from qualitative data is a creative, experimental, and wondrous process!

While no one ever said it had to be, thematic analysis is invariably described as a step-by-step process that involves coding. Yet qualitative data analysis is more than a technical procedure-it invokes imagination and inspiration-intuitional engagements that are as vital to the data analysis process as they are difficult to describe. This edited book begins with two premises: (1) there is more than one way to theme data, and (2) qualitative researchers do not have to code to get to themes. Each chapter introduces readers to a different approach to thematic analysis, explores that approach's theoretical and disciplinary roots, and illustrates how that approach can be used to generate themes. Approaches include annotating, memoing, storying, writing, composing poems, artmaking, meditating, and more, expanding conceptualizations of what themes and thematic analysis can be. The book also includes 'methodologies in action': helpful examples of creative theming from doctoral students and early career scholars.

This book is as much a provocation for engaging thematic analysis beyond/without/in addition to coding as it is a resource for anyone interested in the rationale, justification, and examples for doing so. As such, it is a source of inspiration for any qualitative student, researcher, and scholar who wishes to expand their repertoire of approaches to thematic analysis.

Healthcare professionals and health science librarians need to know more than research practices and clinical knowledge to become transformational individuals and leaders in their field. Empathy and compassion; appreciation for the various social and cultural contexts of health, care, and illness; and utilizing the contributions the arts, humanities, and humanistic social sciences can add depth and dimension to their work. While librarians are not usually the healthcare professionals themselves, they serve an important role in the development of healthcare professionals through their work in educational and/or healthcare settings, helping train others in the goals of the curriculum and in lifelong learning-related habits of mind. This book offers librarians an opportunity to learn about and develop approaches to the health humanities, for their benefit and the benefit of their constituents and stakeholders, as well as for impacting the future health care professionals of our global community.
In addition to foundational contents on the history of the health humanities, this book approaches the health humanities from a wealth of angles including archives and special collections, collection development, privacy, biases, empathy, skills development through writing and programming engagement, and through consideration of special populations and more. Beyond essential health humanities grounding and topical perspectives, this book shares valuable pedagogical and instructional approaches and outreach strategies for bringing librarians into conversation with campus departments, curricular pathways, instructors' goals, and learners' needs. These modifiable, adaptable techniques will allow readers to develop the confidence and tools they need to bring the health humanities to their institutions, and will help the perspectives and skillsets of the health humanities flourish among the next generation of health care professionals.

This book is part of the English for Academic Research series. It shows university students and researchers how to optimize their use of chatbots and machine translation in order to correct the English usage of a research paper, and write emails, letters, and presentation scripts and slides in English. English-speaking language editors, translators, and EAP teachers will also find this book useful.

The main focus is on ChatGPT and Google Translate. However the techniques proposed will also work with equivalent tools. You will learn the areas where ChatGPT works well: correcting, improving, paraphrasing, reducing, and summarizing texts; generating / suggesting texts; answering queries; and simulating academic scenarios. A key strategy for enhancing the output of machine translation is to pre-edit and post-edit your texts - this book tells you how.

You will also learn what ChatGPT is currently NOT able to do, e.g. differentiating between 'essential' and 'non-essential'; listing all the changes it has made; highlighting your key findings; and advising you when you have written too much, plagiarized, used biased language, or forgotten to mention the limitations of your work.

The book lists over 170 prompts that you can use with a chatbot. The author recommends using ChatGPT as an assistant, but not for generating an entire paper.
