Reviews

'Th[is] book gives us a welcome state-of-the-art picture of knowledge as it stands in the early years of the new millennium...Even though it often makes for depressing reading, the book should be in all Politics, Sociology, British Studies and History Department Libraries.' - Antoine Capet, Université de Rouen
