Rezensionen

'With this volume, the editors have created a successful compilation of texts on aspects of Harvey Sacks' work that is unrivaled in terms of thematic and disciplinary breadth ... The authors manage, on the one hand, to present well-known and established topics and perspectives of Sacks' work and their continuations in different research contexts, and on the other hand to show less explored possibilities for connection.' - Dominik Gerst, Svenja Heuser and Maximilian Krug, Qualitative Social Research (translation)

'This book keeps connection with Sacks' brilliance, and is a reminder of the mirandum of Sacks' work. The chapters are written in an engaging manner with authors sharing details of their first encounters with Sacks' work.' - Timothy Halkowski, Symbolic Interaction
