My major change in outlook (which is responsible for its form) dates back to a day ten years ago at the University of Warwick, when I was comparing notes on teaching with the late David Fowler. He explained his own history of mathematics course to me; as

I never really thought of myself as a dog person either, until I got a dog, which made me a dog person by default. Before then, I was convinced there was a dog-person demographic— one that I didn’t fit. Not that I didn’t like dogs. Far from it. But I grew up in prehip Brooklyn, with a mother who feared all creatures great and small. The dogs I saw on TV

There’s also a pensiveness that seems painful for you, yet you rarely give vent to the anger that pain must provoke.” “You’re provoking it now,” said the man. “And we’ll continue to do so, as long as there’s progress.” “I wasn’t aware any progress had been made.” “Not in terms of an identity or an occupation. But we are finding out what’s most comfortable for you, what you deal with best. It’s a little frightening.” “In what way?” “Let me give you an example.” The doctor

THE GOAL 1 I come through the gate this morning at 7:30 and I can see it from across the lot: the crimson Mercedes. It's parked beside the plant, next to the offices. And it's in my space. Who else would do that except Bill Peach? Never mind that the whole lot is practically empty at that hour. Never mind that there are spaces marked "Visitor." No, Bill's got to park in the space with my title on it. Bill likes to make subtle statements. So, okay, he's the division vice-president, and I'm just

simply seeks to make the case for more of both of these. As such, it is ‘ work in the early stages of progress’ on which feedback on all aspects of the paper will be welcome. And as befits a primarily qualitative and subjectivist-inclined researcher, I felt it important to put the development of the proposed research agenda in context. Its origins lie as far back as the completion of my doctoral research (Holloway 1990), which had examined the operation and impact of formal approaches to performance

I am grateful his sons took pleasure in making the book presentable for the purpose it was meant for. Out of esteem for their father it was not their intention to try to "finish" it. May be just this occasional incompleteness can add an extra charm to this work of a man who was in fact a perfectionist. The children and I are grateful to the authorized committee
