A complete handbook for the student or researcher who is new to the work of Simondon.--Wil Kaiser H-Disability (01/01/0001)

<p>This is a most welcome volume on Gilbert Simondon, featuring essays by some of the finest theorists working today. It nicely complements the translation into English of Simondon's key texts and can be highly recommended to those working in the humanities and social sciences and looking for new models of thought.--Keith Ansell-Pearson, University of Warwick
