Thanks Bob, very much for all that.

Conflicting Paradigms in Adult Literacy Education focuses on the last 20 
years and might be viewed as a somewhat extensive meditation on Juliet 
Merrifield's Contested Ground.  As I am informed, the advanced copies are on 
the way to me now.  When the book is actually out, I believe next week, I'll 
make formal announcements and some commentary to the lists.  The short of it 
is that it may be of some interest to a wide range of readers.

A bountiful Thanksgiving to all.

George
       What a beautiful and high-minded interpretation of the occasional
gems and frequent babble that pervades the lists.
       Your contributions, however, are unquestionably in the first
category.
       Do I remember correctly that you have a book on the history of
literacy in the U.S. being published about this time?

Hi Jackie,

A quick thought.

The lists themselves are one critical way in which research, theory and
practice are brought together.  To push this the lists may be viewed as
a mammoth scale practitioner-based inquiry project in which the
individual posts may be viewed as primary data.  The inquiry is expanded
when messages are compared to or correlated to each other and broader
streams of discussion threads are examined.  While this doesn't address
the on-site issue, I think it's valuable to examine our own collective
practice as a good example of inquiry based practice in "real time" over
a wide geographical span.
