In Engaging in Narrative Inquiry, Second Edition, D. Jean Clandinin, a pioneer in narrative research, updates her classic formulation on narrative inquiry, clarifying, extending, and refining methods.

Learning Stories in Practice
Margaret Carr and Wendy Lee have often been asked for a follow-on practical companion to their seminal 2012 book Learning Stories; a complimentary book that provides practical advice for teachers who are embarking on a ‘narrative assessments-for-learning’ journey. After much anticipation that book is here at last! Packed with a wide range of full-colour examples of real life learning stories from all over the world this practical guide is influenced by their ongoing work with teachers across many countries and the thoughtful comments and questions that teachers have asked during conversations at conferences, lectures and professional development programmes. They have turned these conversations with teachers and students into key ideas, and a practical framework on how to initiate and create good learning stories and why they are valuable. They show you how to write stories that capture the magic and excitement of each young child′s journey through the early years and how to develop a deep professional understanding of the learning that takes place during this special and influential time in their lives.

The Road to Eden's Ridge
The Road to Eden's Ridge is a love story evocative of The Bridges of Madison County. Less than an hour before her wedding, Lindsey Briggs stands in her bedroom in a Maine farmhouse and decides to call off the wedding and pursue her musical dreams in Nashville, Tennessee. When she sings at the Bluebird Cafe, she meets Ben McBride, a country-singing legend and old army buddy of her grandfather. The threat of falling in love with McBride's young lawyer makes Lindsey flee back to Maine where she learns of the love years earlier between Ben and her grandmother's sister Lily and the truth about her own past. The book has been optioned for film by Lindsay Doran, producer of Dead Again and Sense and Sensibility, who says, "If a book is supposed to be a love story, I ask myself if I sob big sobs. When I read The Road to Eden's Ridge, I sob big sobs."
The Routledge International Handbook on Narrative and Life History
In recent decades, there has been a substantial turn towards narrative and life history study. The embrace of narrative and life history work has accompanied the move to postmodernism and post-structuralism across a wide range of disciplines: sociological studies, gender studies, cultural studies, social history; literary theory; and, most recently, psychology. Written by leading international scholars from the main contributing perspectives and disciplines, The Routledge International Handbook on Narrative and Life History seeks to capture the range and scope as well as the considerable complexity of the field of narrative study and life history work by situating these fields of study withi...
