Troubles and Trials Oft Made to Wonder
This book tells the remarkable story of Brian Dixon who, following a dramatic conversion, became a gifted and energetic evangelist, first rising to the call to ministry under John Nelson Parr, the founder of Assemblies of God in Great Britain. He devoted many years of ministry to Mr Parr's legendary Bethshan Tabernacle in Longsight, Manchester, the Assemblies of God's flagship church. Brian's exploits went on to include missionary work in South Africa, leading a church in Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire and many years of missionary work in Romania even in his old age. Brian is still an evangelist at heart, striking up conversations wherever he goes and relishing any opportunities to take the pulpit. Ben Pugh (son-in-law).
Take Two Aspirin...
The book follows Brian's career throughout his postings both in the UK, and overseas.

It is an honest memoir, reflecting upon both the highs, and the lows, of serving in the RAF during the 1980s and early 1990s. The book is both funny and poignant, and leads the reader through this amusing, realistic, adventure called life.

Dewey and Design
Over the last four decades, John Dewey’s pragmatist philosophy has formed an intellectual core in design research, underpinning Donald Schön’s theory of reflective practice, the experiential perspective in HCI and the democratic commitments of participatory design. Taking these existing connections as a starting point, Brian Dixon explores how deeper alignments may be drawn between Dewey’s insights and contemporary design research’s concern with practice, meaning and collaboration. Chapter by chapter, a fresh intellectual approach is revealed, one which recognises the transformative power of doing, making and knowing as a force for positive change in the world. We see that, for Dewe...

Design, Philosophy and Making Things Happen
Drawing from the work of Dewey, Wittgenstein and Heidegger, this book aims to relate a series of philosophic insights to the practice of engaging in design research for change. These insights are explored and presented as a set of potential strategies for grounding transformative design research within an intellectual context which both embraces and celebrates experience, process and uncertainty. Chapter by chapter, through theory, practical examples and case studies, an accessible narrative opens up around the coupled themes of existence and experience, language and meaning and knowing and truth. The outcome is a rich and detailed perspective on the ways in which philosophy may afford design research for change a means to both explain, as well as understand, not only what it is and what it does, but also what it could be. The book will be of interest to scholars working in design studies, design theory and design research.
