Baby Boomers: A Mobile Generation Hardback - January 2011, 254 pp., ISBN: 978-1-905622-33-7, £65.00 Through the use of survey data and qualitative interviews with baby boomers living in London and Paris, the authors demonstrate the diversity of the boomer generation - most notably in terms of housing experiences but equally in areas such as work and consumption. The contrasting experiences within the two cities studied provide evidence that is at odds with the commonly accepted view that baby boomers are culturally dominant and have a monopoly of financial wealth. |

The Web of Science In this new book on the sociology of stem cell and prion disease research, Michel Dubois explores the dynamics of biomedical science through a study of the networks through which scientific collaboration in this domain has developed. One of his aims is to offer an alternative to the overly simplistic view of scientific transformation popularly associated with the idea of 'technoscience'. His study develops an innovative theory directed towards the renewal of the sociology of science, that defines the main principles of a sociological approach based on scientific action and its often unintended consequences. |
