A pile of recently received books, many in recompense for review work. The Chimisso and Merleau-Ponty are for the Foucault and Canguilhem projects; but also second-hand copies of Françoise Gilot’s biography Life with Picasso, and Boehringer and Lorenzini’s collection on Foucault, sexuality and antiquity. Also copies of recent books by Debrix and Sloterdijk, and the seventh edition of Johnston and Sidaway’s Geography and Geographers.

Also in the pile is a copy of the Bulgarian journal Социологически проблеми [Sociological Problems] that has translations of the interview conducted with me by Antoinette Koleva which was recently in Foucault Studies; and the excerpt from Foucault: The Birth of Power which appeared in Viewpoint magazine – The Biopolitics of Birth: Michel Foucault, the Groupe Information Santé and the Abortion Rights Struggle.

Finally, Elaine Stratford generously sent me a copy of her book Geographies, Mobilities, and Rhythms over the Life-Course.
