Europe's Crises
Edited by Manuel Castells et al
(Polity Press, £18.99)
ONE of the difficulties with books written by academics is that they often have a tendency to become narrowly focused within the author's specialism. Europe's Crises is not such a book.
Edited by leading academics from the fields of sociology, economics, communications science and science and technology, its 18 essays are drawn from a wide spectrum of disciplines.
