This book describes ‘whole onflow’ which is, at once, the emergence and becoming of the entirety of the world/universe and any actual, unique position whatsoever in it ‘now’. A physical plane and self-organizing process that owes its energy to the Big Bang; in our region, it now unfolding the infinitely complex and varied world we engage, contribute to and experience.
There have been many academic ideas on the nature of emergence and becoming in the world, including ideas on the world’s overall emergence and becoming. In this book, we extend some of these ideas to conceptualize a physical plane incorporating all possible positions and local variability – all geographies - what we refer to as ‘whole onflow’. We answer some key questions including: What is the processual nature of whole onflow through which the world emerges and becomes in the moment? How might thinking in terms of whole onflow expand our ideas on the world’s productions from health, to ageing to capitalism and beyond? How might this help us get to grips with today’s kinetic, energy-dependent, multi-textured, and process-ignorant world? The book lays out the broad theoretical landscape. It demonstrates how principles and processes established by physics and cosmology might be combined with principles and processes conveyed by social theory to describe the world in whole onflow.
Dealing then with the very origins of all that is, and all that is social, the book is core reading for social scientists who like to think fundamentally. It is very much a speculative and provocative piece, but a necessary one, and will be of particular interest to those studying the world through poststructuralist, posthumanist, new materialist and non-representational theoretical lenses. Moving forward, certain scholars might follow the specific points of departure and pathways the book signposts. Others might choose to tread the new ground the book opens up in their own ways.
Gavin J. Andrews is Professor in the Department of Health, Aging and Society at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. He is also Associate Member of the School of Earth, Environment and Society at the same institution. Andrews is a human geographer with wide-ranging interests, particularly around issues of health and well-being. Much of his work is positional and considers the development, state-of-the-art and future of health and social geography. He is interested in fundamental ontological questions, drawing on posthumanist, new materialist and non-representational theory to answer those questions, to animate the emergence and vitality of the social world and to explain the compositions, processes and textures of space involved.
Cameron Duff is Professor of Political Science at the Centre for Organisations and Social Change in the College of Business and Law at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Duff’s programme of research explores the role of social innovation in driving social change in the community and not-for-profit sectors, with a focus on mental health care and social housing. Working at the intersection of political and organizational theory, Duff’s scholarship advances theoretical accounts of the ways social innovations emerge in response to complex social problems in urban settings, informed by close readings of the work of Gilles Deleuze, Elizabeth Grosz, Judith Butler, Manuel DeLanda, Bruno Latour and Michel Foucault.
Keith Woodward is Professor of Social Theory and Director of the School of Geography, Development, and Environment at the University of Arizona, the United States. He works at the intersections of affect theory, social and spatial theory, continental philosophy and social struggles. His early work helped to spark the so-called 'scale debates' in geography, and his contributions to site ontology form a key element in the discipline's ontological turn. He is interested in the work of Deleuze, Simondon, Badiou and others and is currently writing a monograph on Jean Genet and mereology.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
