I'll seek out the named people next. @working-scripts.bsky.social (Maisie Roberts)...

Nathan Keates @keatesresearch.bsky.social · 2d

We have now released this book into the metaphorical wild, so please do seek it out and give them both nice homes (we suggest libraries and obviously universities libraries).

Many thanks once more.

Nathan Keates @keatesresearch.bsky.social · 2d

We had a fantastic panel of authors, so much thanks goes to Jada Brown, Maisie Roberts, Fi McEwan-Thompson, Simon Ripley, and Elli Brickwood.

Nathan Keates @keatesresearch.bsky.social · 2d

The next thanks must go to the authors for their chapters. The book is very valuable because of the insights it contains. Regarding the book launch itself, as this is my focus, the amazing Brian Irvine provided reflections (to both of our books!), for which we are so happy.
