Abstract
Academic writing is increasingly equated to publications in scientific journals often with quite strict word limits. A book is a chance for an author to expose her/his opinion without the restrictions of space and style that most journals impose. This comes with a burden and a responsibility: the book will remain, and it has to be able to stand-alone and make sense. However, especially if someone is committed to critical social science research and fieldwork, a book can also give voice and space to other people. All these research participants without whom a social scientist would be unable to grasp the ideological and political opinions that shape, support, or contest the current, capitalist, production of nature.
