‘With this volume, the editors have created a successful compilation of texts on aspects of Harvey Sacks’ work that is unrivaled in terms of thematic and disciplinary breadth … The authors manage, on the one hand, to present well-known and established topics and perspectives of Sacks’ work and their continuations in different research contexts, and on the other hand to show less explored possibilities for connection.’ - Dominik Gerst, Svenja Heuser and Maximilian Krug, Qualitative Social Research (translation)'This book keeps connection with Sacks’ brilliance, and is a reminder of the mirandum of Sacks’ work. The chapters are written in an engaging manner with authors sharing details of their first encounters with Sacks’ work.' - Timothy Halkowski, Symbolic Interaction'This newly published volume, On Sacks contains many recollections of scholars’ first encounters with Harvey Sacks’ work. These stories provide situated contexts locating each author among a community of scholars with whom they shared the discovery of Sacks’ work. These anniversary-like recollections provide a snapshot into academic networks that embraced Sacks’ new ways of examining everyday interactions. Many of the text’s authors describe how Sacks’ work sparked a significant turn both in their own thinking and away from the trend to advance professional sociology […]. It is my hope that this collection will entice a new generation of scholars to experience the joy of Sacks.' - Trudy Milburn, Discourse Studies
