One heck of an Autumn sky out there tonight 😍

Zygmunt Bauman's 'Selected Writings' series is now complete!📚 'Theory & Society' (edited by Tom Campbell, Dariusz Brzeziński, Mark Davis, and Jack Palmer) brings together hitherto unknown or rare pieces by #Bauman on the theme of theory and society and also makes available previously unpublished material from @BaumanUoL at @UniversityLeeds , as well as rare pieces that were previously unavailable in English.
