These disparate topics have persistently fascinated scholar Jonathan P. Eburne, yet each defied his previous efforts at classification through scholarly writing, resulting in five essays suspended in process. In \u003ci\u003eExploded Views, \u003c\/i\u003eEburne returns to these essays with the metaphorical tool of the exploded-view diagram, expanding them into entirely new, hybrid forms that unpack their inspirations and trace the wayward paths they followed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e An experiment into the nature of inquiry that spelunks, rather than shies from, the rabbit holes of scholarly curiosity, each essay gives way to sidelights and dilations to reveal the palimpsest of knowledge hiding beneath the surface of the academic form. A book about process-the process of turning ideas into things, and vice versa, as well as the particular tendency for research, scholarly inquiry, and critical writing to come apart and go awry-\u003ci\u003eExploded Views\u003c\/i\u003e is a refreshing exploration of how the tools of creative critical thinking work at their most basic level. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Reflecting on the methods of scholarly knowledge production and the contextual factors that shape new ideas, Eburne boldly replaces the seamlessness of the finished manuscript with the friction and even messiness of the incomplete, inviting readers to think in new and invigorating ways. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55479045292406,"sku":"9781517918514","price":90.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_35405535_eff2a3de-3bd3-40c2-9551-dc1cd20f23a6.jpg?v=1752787556","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781517918514-exploded-views","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
