Phantoms in the Night or ETs?

My Lifelong Experience of Contact with the Paranormal

By: Lorraine McAdam

Writing Phantoms in the Night or ETs? was not easy for author Lorraine McAdam, and what she relates in this book might not be believed by the vast majority of people - which is why she delayed writing it for so long… Indeed, until now, only those in her close, nuclear family had known of the details of her story, which has been a lifelong one. But in her heart she eventually realised that withholding her story - of what she has now come to believe is some form of ongoing ET contact - was no longer an option. And because it seems that the world at large has moved to a more enlightened attitude towards ‘abductees' or ‘experiencers' who have experienced and gone through this high strangeness, loosely called ‘alien contact', McAdam now thinks that the time is ripe to reveal her story. “This is my own simple, truthful, riveting, intriguing, and sometimes frightening account of multiple encounters, and experiences, with beings I believe originate from other worlds and, possibly, other dimensions”, she writes. “And yet I am, to all who know me, an ordinary English teacher, wife, and mother. So why me? I have no answer.”

Collaborative Working in Higher Education

The Social Academy

By: Lorraine Walsh,Peter Kahn

Collaborative working is increasingly becoming a key feature of academic life in Higher Education. Traditionally, university culture supported individual research and scholarship. Today, the academic role has shifted from a focus on the individual to a focus on the group or team. Collaborative Working in Higher Education takes the reader on a journey of examination, discussion, reflection and suggestions for developing practice via a broad overview of the key aspects of collaboration and collaborative working, informed by focused case studies and an international perspective provided by contributing authors.

Understanding the Life Course

Sociological and Psychological Perspectives

By: Lorraine Green

Understanding the Life Course provides a uniquely comprehensive guide to the entire life course from an interdisciplinary perspective. Combining important insights from sociology and psychology, the book presents the concepts theoretical underpinnings in an accessible style, supported by real-life examples. From birth and becoming a parent, to death and grieving for the loss of others, Lorraine Green explores all stages of the life course through key research studies and theories, in conjunction with issues of social inequality and critical examination of lay viewpoints. She highlights the many ways the life course can be interpreted, including themes of linearity and multidirectionality, continuity and discontinuity, and the interplay between nature and nurture. The second edition updates key data and includes additional material on topics such as new technologies, changing markers of transitions to adulthood, active ageing, resilience and neuropsychology. This comprehensive approach will continue to be essential reading for students on vocational programmes such as social work and nursing, and will provide thought-provoking insight into the wider contexts of the life course for students of psychology and sociology.
