Three new resources for your critical physiotherapy.

Gilles Deleuze by Todd May

This book offers a readable and compelling introduction to the work of one of the twentieth century's most important and elusive thinkers. Other books have tried to explain Deleuze in general terms. Todd May organizes his book around a central question at the heart of Deleuze's philosophy: how might we live? The author then goes on to explain how Deleuze offers a view of the cosmos as a living thing that provides ways of conducting our lives that we may not have dreamed of. Through this approach the full range of Deleuze's philosophy is covered. Offering a lucid account of a highly technical philosophy, Todd May's introduction will be widely read amongst those in philosophy, political science, cultural studies and French studies.

Atlas.ti

Atlas.ti is a software to organise and analyse qualitative research data. There is a free version that you can try on their webpage, but to use the full programme, you or your institution need to buy a licence. Atlas.ti has loads of features and it supports all sorts of research materials: images, video files, PDF, Word documents, audio files, etc. It's great for organising ethnographic field notes and data, and for coding large corpora of research materials. Atlas.ti is not an easy-to-use software due to the often messy nature of qualitative research and although there are features for doing analysis (e.g. cross referencing different codes), atlas.ti does not do all of the thinking for you. There are loads of tutorial videos and support available directly from atalsti.

Disability & Society

Disability & Society is an international disability studies journal providing a focus for debate about such issues as human rights, discrimination, definitions, policy and practices. It appears against a background of constant change in the ways in which disability is viewed and responded to.
