I warmly recommend this phenomenologically engaging text to anyone who wants to understand the wondrous world in which we live.’ – Max van Manen, University of Alberta, Canada ‘Adams’ and Thompson’s heuristics will enliven fields of inquiry and produce research buzzing with agency, in which humans are no longer the only ones that speak.
