Reviews / Votes
`...the eclectic range of chapters should provide new insights into embodied social practices within organizations from the literatures of cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, social theory and psychology.... The opportunity to work across discplinary boundaries that is celebrated here is perhaps the most interesting development in contemporary economic geography and adherents of this openness will find much to stimulate their imagination and further reading in the papers in this edited volume' - AreaMore details
