A Research Review: Definition-formed Example Stories
This case study describes results from on-going research. We examined recently published non-fiction, story-rich books within two original, customized genres: a) under-recognized patterns in life and b) new, uncommon, unexpected or radical ways of thinking or viewing the world. Fifty-five books have thus far been reviewed. The results are startling. An unanticipated and extraordinary portion of the stories within these select books are written in a definition form. Other definitions: secondhand smoke, mark-to-market, obesity, open source, the long tail, money, air space, standardization, occupational licensure, financial derivative, Penny Post, law, marriage, civil union, quality of a lifetime, and patriotism. 1,000 words
