  Dear Prof. Stokoe,

  I am an Associate Professor of Psychology at the Federal University of Rio 
  de Janeiro, Brazil, and for several years now I have been developing 
  research in the area of discourse and identity.  I am very much interested 
  in having your new book and I would like to know how can I order a 
  copy.  Thank you very much,  Maria Lúcia Rocha-Coutinho.At 16:19 12/03/06
