How can intuition be captured in situ? How can a researcher harness their own intuition? This book uses method-related themes to help answer these questions and explore innovative developments in intuition research The authors explore effects of cognitive systems and capabilities, the role of emotions and stress and highlight challenges of quantitative approaches They investigate qualitative techniques for mapping intuition, illustrate the use of grounded theory and, finally, review the role of researchers’ own expertise and intuition This book will be invaluable for new and experienced scholars to help them expand their research methods repertoire Innovative Techniques

the study of work A revamped vision of qualitative research, aiming to be “innovative and timeless”, should drive this agenda The book urges researchers to draw on older disciplines – history, philosophy, psychology, law, ethnography – in new ways and points to the promise of novel methods, from photo-elicitation to cognitive mapping, which could drive HRM research This is a call to new things now and old things differently.’ Handbooks of Research Methods in Management series – Bradon Ellem, University of Sydney, Australia 2016 288 pp Hardback 978 78471 117 £110.00 Elgaronline 978

of the way various disciplines conceptualise facts, values, and norms in the realms of judging, lawyering, and legislating – and the interdisciplinary challenges and opportunities this offers In the

Frans L Leeuw, Maastricht University and Security and Justice Research Center (WODC), with Hans Schmeets, Maastricht University and Netherlands Statistics, the Netherlands ‘In 1788 John Adams created a sublime ambition for all nations – ‘a government of laws and not of men’ In the intervening years we have come to learn that legislation itself works through the interpretations of the many men and women who work on the inside and the outside of the law Effective regulation thus depends not only on scrupulous legal analysis, with its appeal to precedent, conceptual clarity and argumentation, but also on sound empirical research, which often reveals diversity in implementation, enforcement and observance of the law in practice In this outstanding, worldly-wise book Leeuw and Schmeets demonstrate how to bridge the gap between the letter and the delivery of the law It is packed with examples, cases and illustrations that will have international appeal I recommend it to students and practitioners engaged across all domains of legislation and regulation.’ – Ray Pawson, University of Leeds, UK 2016 328 pp Hardback 978 78254 939 £85.00 • Elgaronline 978 78254 941 Edited by Bart van Klink, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Ubaldus de Vries, Utrecht University, the Netherlands ‘At a time when the performative demands of the neo-liberal university threaten to marginalize liberal and post-liberal traditions of critical enquiry, it is important to be reminded that a quality legal education can be both richly sceptical and imaginative For those interested in deepening their students’ empirical, normative and affective understanding of legal phenomena, and of their own place in the legal world, this collection of essays offers both a multi-faceted account of educational praxis and some persuasive examples of how we can educate better.’ – Julian Webb, The University of Melbourne, Australia A Short Introduction to Judging and to Legal Reasoning Geoffrey Samuel, Kent Law School, UK and Sciences-Po, Paris, France ‘In this useful and timely book Geoffrey Samuel offers to his readers a new understanding of the rich complexity of legal reasoning – an understanding that has sometimes been lacking in accounts of law written from a single perspective Professor Samuel has made excellent use of his wide and deep knowledge of Roman law, of English legal history, of modern English law and of medieval and modern civil law The book is well set out, with clear, concise and apt quotations throughout.’ – Stephen Waddams, University of Toronto, Canada 2016 208 pp

Political Science Working with Paradata, Marginalia and Fieldnotes The Centrality of By-Products of Social Research Edited by Hans Keman and Jaap J Woldendorp, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands ‘It is rare for a book these days to seek to review and draw together the whole range of what political scientists – in many different countries and with many different interests – actually Given the divisions in the discipline between quantitative and qualitative, description and theorising, empirical and normative, it is difficult to develop an integrated and coherent discussion, let alone it well and in sufficient detail to be methodologically and philosophically illuminating But that is just what the editors and their collaborators have achieved in this fine volume – partly by not evading the difficult issues of what, if anything, the various approaches have in common and what they contribute to each other and to practitioners and politicians in the every day world of politics All of these questions are confronted head on in the various chapters, some of which provide original technical analyses which could well stand in their own right as contributions to the discipline None are less than provocative and interesting presentations of their own point of view, whether this be philosophical or methodological – and they all contribute substantial points to the discussion of whether there is disciplinary unity or not.’ – Ian Budge, Essex University, UK Dec 2016 c 576 pp Hardback 978 78471 081 c £165.00 Elgaronline 978 78471 082 Edited by Rosalind Edwards, University of Southampton, John Goodwin and Henrietta O’Connor, University of Leicester and Ann Phoenix, UCL Institute of Education, UK ‘Paradata will become increasingly important to researchers, both as an insight into the complexity and richness of participants and contexts, but also it has great potential to improve the quality of our research Ros Edwards and her colleagues have provided us with a wonderfully comprehensive set of essays that are both insightful and valuable This is a book which will have great appeal to students and professional researchers from both the quantitative and qualitative traditions.’ – Malcolm Williams, Cardiff University, UK ‘Taking an expansive and inclusive approach to its topic, Working with Paradata, Marginalia and Fieldnotes offers a stimulating tour of a neglected domain of methodology Readers who customarily regard paradata as a “dry and dull” element of data archiving will be delighted to read of the hidden corners of the research enterprise that this book’s understanding of paradata and marginalia illuminates Launching what is effectively a new field of inquiry, the book shows how these materials contribute to the field’s renewed process of self-discovery.’ – Nigel Fielding, University of Surrey, UK ‘This is an extremely important book that brings to the attention of social researchers and methodologists the fascinating potential and intrinsic interest of three kinds of by-product of the research process – field notes, paradata, and marginalia Many of us are unfamiliar with all or some of these sources The book is full of worked examples of their use which greatly enhances the book’s utility for all of us The editors and authors have done us all a great service in bringing to our attention research sources that can no longer be ignored.’ Handbooks of Research Methods and Applications series Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Social Capital Edited by Yaojun Li,

treated as data and of research interest in themselves? This groundbreaking interdisciplinary volume considers the analytic value of a range of ‘by-products’ of social research and reading These include electronically captured paradata on survey administration, notes written in the margins of research documents and literary texts, and fieldnotes and ephemera produced by social researchers Revealing the relational nature of paradata, marginalia and fieldnotes, contributions examine how the craft of studying and analysing these by-products offers insight into the intellectual, social and ethical processes underpinning the activities of research and reading Unique and engaging, this book is a must read for social researchers and sociologists, narrative analysts, literary scholars and historians Bridging methodological boundaries, it will also prove of great value to quantitative and qualitative methodologists alike Jan 2017 c 192 pp Hardback 978 78471 524 c £70.00 Elgaronline 978 78471 525 Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Environmental Studies Edited by Matthias Ruth, Northeastern University, US ‘This Handbook provides a comprehensive guide to the topical and methodological breadth and diversity of the interdisciplinary field of environmental studies The chapters, each written by leading experts in the field, illustrate cutting-edge quantitative, qualitative and mixed methodologies used in environmental studies research The Handbook will make an ideal primary or supplemental textbook for graduate research and methods courses It will also be an excellent resource for environmental studies students, faculty and researchers.’ – Robin Leichenko, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, US 2015 544 pp Hardback 978 78347 463 £180.00 Elgaronline 978 78347 464 Handbooks of Research Methods and Applications series Edward Elgar Publishing our vision We offer a unique publishing experience As an independent press, Edward Elgar Publishing offers a uniquely responsive service tailored to each project Our dedicated team works closely with our authors to keep them involved and informed whether they are publishing for the first time or a well established writer In good company Your book will sit in good company – many of our authors are recognised as leading scholars and professionals in their fields Numbered amongst them are several Nobel Laureates All of our work is peer-reviewed by subject specialists to ensure our books are of the very best quality Publishing to be proud of Our experienced production team will produce a book you will be proud of Your desk editor will be in close liaison during the processing and production stages, involving you in all the important decisions Learn more: www.e-elgar.com/publish-with-us To order, telephone: +44 1235 465500 I Save up to 20% at www.e-elgar.com I To get email updates: subscribe@e-elgar.co.uk www.elgaronline.com FREE trial access for your library!
