Investigates how a topic is hugely important in popular culture, but almost invisible in the academy, and how it makes us want to ask questions about visibility, or perhaps self-censorship
Evaluates how little impact the space age actually had on the social sciences and humanities - partly because its combination of military-industrial...

The daily pick and mix of our eating habits is one way we experience spatial scale.

Drawing on anthropological, sociological and cultural readings of food consumption, as well as empirical material on shopping, cooking, food technology and...
