The authors employ an accessible style to encourage readers to engage with Foucaults work by tackling the issues that students most often raise. The book is organized around the following themes: history, archaeology, genealogy and discourse as the cornerstones of Foucaults methods; and science and culture as important objects of analysis for those using Foucaults methods. The book enables the reader to understand how Foucaults contribution to social thought can be applied and opens up possibilities for researchers to use Foucault rather than merely discuss him.

Author Biography Born in London, Gavin Kendall was educated at Cambridge, Manchester and London Universities, and before moving to QUT, lectured for six years at Lancaster University. His books include The Sociology of Cosmopolitanism; State, Democracy and Globalization; Understanding Culture; and Using Foucault′s Methods. "I try to relate my teaching to my research, inasmuch as I try to always discuss my thinking on the key questions that have stayed with me through all my years as an undergraduate, a postgraduate, and an academic – questions of power and government, of the role of law, and of the limits of sovereignty."
