Review Quotes:
In our time of metrics, league tables and depersonalised measurements, Martin Glynn's book is a welcome relief. A powerful account of a more creative, impassioned method for producing and disseminating research. Recommended for all who believe in the role of art in the academy - and know that research is diminished without its presence.
James Thompson, Professor of Applied Theatre, University of Manchester
Martin Glynn offers readers the theoretical and practical foundations of data verbalization through intimate revelations of his personal journey. Through the power of storytelling, in both traditional and contemporary genres, Glynn provides examples and guidance for the development of innovative counter-narratives. This is a rich handbook on the potential of performative art forms as acts of resistance, social justice, and personal healing.

Martin Glynn has done it again. In this engaging text, the legendary performer and academic researcher draws on his unique experiences as a pioneer of data verbalisation strategies to help researchers to think more creatively research dissemination. If every academic were to learn from this book, we would reach much wider audiences and our world would be much less dull and dreary.
