The New Production of Knowledge: The Dynamics of Science and Research in Contemporary Societies

In this provocative and broad-ranging work, the authors argue that the ways in which knowledge - scientific, social and cultural - is produced are undergoing fundamental changes at the end of the twentieth century. They claim that these changes mark a distinct shift into a new mode of knowledge production which is replacing or reforming established institutions, disciplines, practices and policies. Identifying features of the new mode of knowledge production - reflexivity, transdisciplinarity, heterogeneity - the authors show how these features connect with the changing role of knowledge in social relations. While the knowledge produced by research and development in science and technology is accorded central concern, the

Rambling Boy

Michael Gibbons had the common touch, as they say, the love of others and the ability to express this love in the way he moved, talked and wrote poems. He discovered poetry later in life but it had always been inside him like an orbit of energy that wanted to come out, and finally did. When that happened, he wrote as if it were as natural as breathing. He breathes deep in this book of poems that was written in spurts shortly before his passing. He seemed to know that he was a poet of praise seeking to re-unite himself with the vibrancy of mother nature. Many of his best poems seem like songs and he titled the book Rambling Boy partly because of this, but also because he was, in fact, a rambling boy, who went round and about the world seeing and praising the simple, elemental beauties that others, maybe in too much of a hurry, missed. Now he is the one missed, but thankfully we have his poems.

When Football Came Home is the story of the 1996 European Championship played out in England, the centerpiece of a momentous and unforgettable summer, Britain's second summer of love. In the space of a month the England team went from staggering out of a Hong Kong nightclub in disgrace to within a stud's width of reaching the final at Wembley. It was a summer that nobody really wanted to end—and certainly not as it did, losing against Germany on penalties. With a spirit of togetherness, Terry Venables and his players captured the hearts of the nation in a way not seen since Italia 90—but Euro 96 had an extra edge. Played on home soil, it took place at an extraordinary time in British history. New Labour were poised to end a generation of Tory rule and Cool Britannia was on the rise, as a comatose culture had been revived and Britpop provided the soundtrack to it all. That communal spirit of June 1996 is recaptured in these pages. It wasn't all euphoria—during that month there were riots on the streets of the UK, accusations of spying, race fights, and even a terrorist attack during the tournament. Every single aspect is brought back to life for the first time here—the fraught and often controversial build-up, the tournament in full, and the lasting impact it had on English soccer and the nation.

On 22 June 1986, in front of 114,580 fans at Mexico City's Azteca Stadium and a global TV audience, England and Argentina faced off for a World Cup quarterfinal it would go down as the most infamous game in the tournament's history. High Noon is a richly evocative account of that afternoon, and the fallout that rumbles on today. Just four years after the Falklands War, this was a grudge match that resonated far beyond the field of play. On the pitch a showdown between these two footballing nations had been brewing since a poisonous World Cup quarterfinal between the two sides at Wembley 20 years earlier. High Noon is the story of two iconic managers, and two sets of players that travelled a variety of paths to reach the biggest game of their lives. One of them, Diego Maradona, was blessed with a genius both mesmerising and Machiavellian. Inside four incredible minutes in the second half, he would score two of the most famous goals in history, the notorious 'hand of God' goal and the spectacular 'goal of the century'.
