Knowledge Monopolies by Alan Shipman
Historians and sociologists chart the consequences of the expansion of knowledge; philosophers of science examine the causes. This book bridges the gap. The focus is on 'academisation' -- the paradox whereby, as the general public becomes better educated to live and work with knowledge, the 'academy' increases its intellectual distance from the public, so that the nature of social and natural reality becomes more rather than less obscure.
Shipman, Alan: - Alan Shipman is the managing director of Group 5 Training Limited. He was the project editor for ISO/IEC 27701:2019 and is also the chair of IST/33/5, which is responsible for the UK's contributions to the work of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC27/WG5 which deals with identity management and privacy technologies. Alan has over 30 years' experience of managing personal information, both as a data processor for a service organisation and as a data controller. He is a regular speaker at conferences, covering all aspects of information management. Alan has been involved in the development of BS 10008 throughout its life (first published as guidance in 1996), which deals with the management of electronic information of all types, including the conversion of paper-based information to electronic forms. His experience includes advising organisations in both the public and private sector on the implementation of BS 10008. Steve G Watkins leads the consultancy and training services of IT Governance Ltd. In his various roles in both the public and private sectors he has been responsible for most support disciplines. He has over 20 years' experience of managing integrated management systems, and is a lead auditor for ISO27001 and ISO9000.
