[Lois Ann Scheidt]

Seems I've bounced one to many emails today - beta testing a new

which I stole the addy.  *sigh*  Message follows below.

> First the book is not directly about human subjects research but from
> the perspective of life-writing it captures many of the issues

> I've marked up so much of the first 50 pages with thoughts and
> observations I can tell this is a good thought provoking work for those
> of us who take parts of people's lives as our research data.
