Reviews

This innovative text presents an interesting holistic framework, addressing seminal AE debates, and offers practical guidance for both philosophically positioning and practically ‘doing’ AE from a symbiotic perspective. It provides sufficient detail to understand the genesis of AE and ample guidance to ‘do’ and ‘write’ AE symbiotically, enabling researchers to critically situate their own personal study.
