Jon Anderson's book, "Surfing Spaces," explores the world of surf-riding from a cultural geography perspective. The book is divided into two parts. In the first part, Anderson examines the littoral, which he describes as a zone of human-cultural-biophysical assemblage. He explores how social groups form identities through consumption, protection, and sport practices in relation to land-sea interaction. The second part focuses on the connections and disconnections between pre- and post-colonial surfing history, highlighting issues of capital accumulation, racial discrimination, and the commodification of surfing spaces. While the book does not explicitly link these issues to environmentalism, it raises important questions about the role of the littoral in environmentalist identities. Overall, "Surfing Spaces" offers a combined approach to the sociological and geographical imagination and provides valuable insights for students and scholars. [Extracted from the article]

In his book, The New Sociological Imagination, Steve Fuller criticizes what he calls "bioliberalism." According to him, the social sciences are challenged on two sides: humanistic and biological. In particular, Fuller finds the biological challenge serious. Fuller tries to reinvent sociology as a socialist project to counterattack bioliberalism as the biggest threat to the social sciences. First, the author will examine Fuller's argument against bioliberalism, referring to the so- called "liberal eugenics." Then the author will criticize him. By reinventing sociology as a socialist project, Fuller seems to ignore the relation between value-freedom and education. One of the reasons Max Weber argued for value-freedom was to prevent sociology teachers from imposing their particular views on their students. We must consider this problem of teaching undergraduates sociology and other subjects in a better way if we are to have better social institutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
