Dear list, Though we've had a good quantity of proposals for chapters for our book on design research methods - many from names that I recognise from this list - I am very aware that a good number of folks that I hoped might have made a proposal, have not. Perhaps I should jog memories by re-sending the original call (appended below), or possibly bring it to your attention for the first time, and invite you to either send a proposal, or to discuss a proposal before submitting as many have done already. Or possibly forward to a colleague who would be just right for this book. The deadline for this initial round is 14 May, details on the website below. Regards, David Durling on a sunny day in The Fens, without a single ash cloud in sight .........................................................................
