"[An] illuminating book." The Independent

"Anthony Giddens has earned a considerable reputation amongsocial scientists over the past three decades as a theorist. Thoughimportant within the academy, such reputations have a limitedcachet in the world at large. Recently, though, Giddens hasattained bona fide celebrity, or at least demicelebrity, statusoutside the cloisters, in his related roles as director of theLondon School of Economics and intellectual darling of BritishPrime Minister Tony Blair's New Labour party. His name by now mustbe a household word in his native Britain, given the frequency withwhich he is mentioned in the media there. On this side of theAtlantic as well, he has been interviewed, cited as expert, and hisideas variously praised and panned in a wide variety ofnon-academic, even mainstream media...Those with even a passinginterest in Giddens are likely to find this book useful, as Giddenssummarizes his ideas with unusual succinctness" Christopher J.Richter, Communication Theory Book Review
