The book includes (0) contributions (CONTRIBUTE) from 12 other writers - to name them all would take too much space, and to name a few would be ____________ (INVIDIOUSLY).

Most of the authors are European-based, and, combined with the non-managerial focus, this seems to make the book less dogmatic or ___________ (PRESCRIBE). The book is __________ (IMMENSE) readable, both because of the writing style(s) and the variety of interrelated topics. It can also act as a useful resource or ___________ (REFER) to find a quick way into topics, such as value, or identity. It lends itself to a course design that would require students to engage with the journal literature and relate this to ______________ (CONTEMPORIZE) social issues. It is a useful resource for the kind of class where ideas can be discussed and argued about. Its ___________ (ENTREAT)  of issues is helpful, as it brings several different ideas to bear on the same question. At times, the book strays from its mission and spends a little too much time giving the ___________ (MANAGE) view.
