Academic Tribes and Territories maps academic knowledge and explores the diverse characteristics of those who inhabit and cultivate it. Contents: 1. Landscapes, Tribal Territories and Academic Cultures. - 2. Points of Departure. - 3. Academic Disciplines. - 4. Overlaps, Boundaries and Specialisms. - 5. Aspects of Community Life. - 6. Patterns of Communication. - 7. Academic Careers. - 8. The Wider Context. - 9. Implications for Theory and Practice. - Appendix: Data for the Initial Study (HoF/text adopted)
