The contributions review recent work on the discourses of tourism, travel and cultural politics; the effects of global interactions and local resistances, and the ways in which records, memorials and signs have all been used to describe the experience of encountering the other'.

	MCCRONE, DAVID Understanding Scotland: The Sociology of a Stateless Nation London, United Kingdom, Routledge. 1992. (ISBN: 0415067480) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. Scotland stands at the centre of sociological concerns in the late 20th century. Rather than being an awkward, ill fitting case, a nation without a state, it is at the centre of the discipline's postmodernist dilemma. Scotland has been part of the United Kingdom, a highly centralized and unitary state for nearly three hundred years, yet has survived the Union in 1707 as a distinctive civil society. Its sense of difference and identity has, indeed, grown rather than diminished. In many respects Scotland is a society with an unmade history, for its history seems incomplete and unpredictable. In a world where the nation state is losing its raison d'etre, Scotland provides an important test case for the proposition that the quest for self-determination occurs in the context of major shifts in political and social arrangements at the global level.

	PLANT, SADIE Zeros and Ones: Digital Women and the New Technoculture London, United Kingdom, Fourth Estate Ltd. 1998. (ISBN: 1857026985) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. A provocative and accessible investigation of the intersection between women, feminism, machines and, in particular, information technology, this text argues that the computer is rewriting old conceptions of "man and his world". It suggests that the telecoms revolution is also a sexual revolution which undermines the fundamental assumptions crucial to patriarchal culture. Historical, contemporary and possible future developments in telecommunications and IT are interwoven with the past, present and future of feminism, women and sexual difference. Sadie Plant challenges the belief that man was ever in control either of his own agency, the planet, or his machines. The theory is that this belief is undermined by the new scientific paradigms emergent from theories of chaos, complexity and connectionism, all of which suggest that the old distinctions between man, woman, nature and technology need to be reassessed.

	RESCHER, NICHOLAS Pluralism : Against the Demand for Consensus Oxford, Oxford University Press. 1995. (ISBN: 0198236018) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. Nicholas Rescher presents a critical reaction against two currently influential tendencies of thought. On the one hand, he rejects the facile relativism that pervades contemporary social and academic life. On the other hand, he opposes the rationalism inherent in new-contractarian theory - both in the idealized communicative-contract version promoted in continental European political philosophy by Jurgen Habermas, and in the idealized social-contract version of the theory promoted in the Anglo-American context by John Rawls. Against such tendencies, Professor Rescher's pluralist approach takes a more realistic and pragmatic line, eschewing the convenient recourse of idealization in cognitive and practical matters. Instead of a utopianism that looks to a uniquely perfect order that would prevail under ideal conditions, he advocates incremental improvements within the framework or arrangements that none of us will deem perfect but that all of us 'can live with'.Such an approach replaces the yearning tor an unattainable consensus with the institution of pragmatic arrangements in which the community will acquiesce - not through agreeing on their optimality, but through a shared recognition among the dissonant parties that the available options are even worse.

	STERN, VIVIEN Sin Against the Future Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Penguin Books Canada, Limited. 1998. (ISBN: 0140233091) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. Imprisonment is the almost unquestioned response to crime the world over, even though as a systematic form of punishment its history goes back over 150 years or so. Although there may be superficial differences between different countries' systems, the experience of imprisonment is universal: prisoners engender violence within themselves, prisoners revolt violently against the prison system, young prisoners who are abused are "educated" into the values of the prison world, women's problems outside prison are exacerbated by the prison environment. Unfortunately, this suffering does nothing to reduce crime. The book examines the prison experience throughout the world, considers international efforts to regulate the system, and asks whether a better answer should be found. Good/Fair - Crease to Cover.

Although there may be superficial differences between different countries' systems, the experience of imprisonment is universal: prisoners engender violence within themselves, prisoners revolt violently against the prison system, young prisoners who are abused are "educated" into the values of the prison world, women's problems outside prison are exacerbated by the prison environment. Unfortunately, this suffering does nothing to reduce crime. The book examines the prison experience throughout the world, considers international efforts to regulate the system, and asks whether a better answer should be found. Good/Fair - Crease to Cover.
