{"product_id":"academic-flying-and-the-means-kristian-bjrkdahl-9789811649103","title":"Academic Flying and the Means of Communication","description":"This open access book shines a light on how and why academic work became entwined with air travel, and what can be done to change academia's flying habit. The starting point of the book is that flying is only one means of scholarly communication among many, and that the state of the planet now obliges us to shift to other means. How can the academic-as-globetrotter become a thing of the past? The chapters in this book respond to this call in three steps. It documents the \u003ci\u003econsequences\u003c\/i\u003e of academic flying, it investigates the issue of \u003ci\u003ewhy academics fly\u003c\/i\u003e, and it begins an effort to think through \u003ci\u003ewhat can replace flying, and how\u003c\/i\u003e. Finally, it confronts scholars and scientists, students, activists, research funders, university administrators, and others, with a call to translate this research into action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristian Bjkdahl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9811649103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789811649103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.88d","brand":"Kristian Bjkdahl","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44410872103167,"sku":"9789811649103","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e9b81c9-a5fd-40fa-bd06-c8757ce96ca3.jpg?v=1697538083","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/academic-flying-and-the-means-kristian-bjrkdahl-9789811649103","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
