Paperback. Condition: New. An original vision and a pedagogical text on a major issue of our time and, even more, of our childen´s.Göran Therborn is University Professor of Sociology at Uppsala University, Sweden, and Professor and Chair of Sociology at the University of Cambridge, UK. Arguably the most important and certainly the most ambitious book of recent sociology.Bryan Turner, Editor of the Cambridge Dictionary of Sociology. Space weaponry, satellite surveillance and communications, and private space travel are all means in which outer space is being humanized: incorporated into society's projects.
