Smith -- Anthropology in the closet : contributions to community development and local government in the UK / Robert Gregory -- Parading through the peace process : anthropology, governance and crisis in Northern Ireland / Dominic Bryan and Neil Jarman -- From participant observer to observed participant : a prison governor's experience / Peter Bennett -- Identity and appropriation in applied health research / Rachael Gooberman-Hill.
