"Senator George P. McLean's crowning achievement was securing enduring legal protections for birds after a seven-year battle in the US Congress. This is the inspiring story of how adversity plays a vital role in growth and greatness, and recounts how an obscure Connecticut farm boy became one of the nation's most effective environmental conservationists. Passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 stopped the senseless killing of birds and likely prevented the extinction of entire bird species. This full-scale biography invites readers into the life and personality of one of Connecticut's most influential and revered political leaders. McLean's forty-five year career is a window to a fascinating time of growth and change in American history"--

'Mind-blowing, gut-wrenching, shocking' - Chris Atkins'Gripping . . . this is one not to miss' - Irish TimesFor two years, Donna McLean lived a life of bliss with her boyfriend, Carlo. But her great love story wasn't just built on lies - it was one. Because Carlo wasn't a bike-obsessed Italian locksmith at all; he was a British police officer, part of a unit that had worked undercover for years to infiltrate activist groups across the country. More than twenty of those officers deliberately targeted women and duped them into relationships, posing as socialists, environmental campaigners and union reps, before vanishing without a trace.Small Town Girl is Donna's shattering story of a life turned upside down overnight, and her reclamation of a truth that was shamelessly buried by those who should be protecting the most vulnerable in society

This book investigates right-wing populism in Brazil. It is a unique study of the major protest movements of the New Right that dominated the streets of São Paulo from 2014 to 2018 and acted as a prelude to Jair Bolsonaro's election. Examining the populist rhetoric that circulated among the movements' online followers, McLean reveals the formation of different right-wing publics and gives insight into the topics that have the greatest impact on public political debate. Through interviewing multiple activists and observing them at political events, McLean also exposes motivations for engaging in political action and demonstrates how the movements act as media vehicles of the New Right. Such an intimate study on the Brazilian New Right has never before been carried out in such in-depth detail

Nicole McLean holds a joint-PhD from The University of Melbourne and University of São Paulo. As part of her degree, she spent two years living and researching in São Paulo where she carried out ethnographic fieldwork during the election of Jair Bolsonaro. As such, Nicole was in Brazil during a critical period in recent Brazilian political history and has a sound understanding of the social, cultural and political contexts in which these phenomena took place.

In this case study, I outline some of those research constraints and ethical dilemmas which may arise when attempting to access and interview hard-to-reach, and often high-risk, sample groups and how rapport building may ease this process. Although Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, has a long and synonymous history with gangs, in the contemporary era, the label "gang" has come to be used to describe what are essentially recreational delinquent youth groups. Many scholars have pointed out that such groups are anything but gangs per se. Therefore, in seeking criminal gangs more akin to those being identified in the Anglo-Welsh and North American contexts, eventually 40 in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with practitioners (n = 5) and (ex)offenders (n = 35) involved in what Police Scotland terms "Serious and Organised Crime": primarily in the form of mid-level brokerage within illegal drug markets. This case study opens by chronologically outlining the research methods chosen while undertaking the study, to aid early career researchers' insight into the research process, before reflecting upon some of the difficulties involved in, and ways around, accessing particular sample groups and exploring constraints and ethical issues which may arise.
