"Understanding Privacy" 

by Daniel Solove, Professor of Law at George Washington University Law School

​

Words from the Publisher: "Professor Daniel Solove offers a comprehensive overview of the difficulties involved in discussion of privacy and ultimately provides a provocative resolution. He argues that no single definition can be workable, but rather that there are multiple forms of privacy, related to one another by family resemblances. His theory bridges cultural differences and addresses historical changes in views on privacy. Drawing on a broad array of interdisciplinary sources, Solove sets forth a framework for understanding privacy that provides clear, practical guidance for engaging with relevant issues."

Marx sums up a lifetime of work on issues of surveillance and social control by disentangling and parsing the empirical richness of watching and being watched.
