Zygmunt Bauman is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at University of Leeds.
"If Bauman had posted the pieces of this book on the internet as he
went along, it would have been the world's best blog. But I'm glad
he didn't."
Steven Poole, The Guardian
"Bauman, like all the best teachers, encourages independent
thinking and insists only that it is informed and above all
critical ... Highly recommended."
