I'm currently reading the above. I had to order it on inter-library loan (all the way from Scotland; thanks University of Glasgow!) as it's only available in hardback and for an utterly stupid price. I hope it comes out in paperback soon; it's really very good.
For a start it's easily the best introduction to Latour's work I've read. It is right up to date, including a discussion of the modes of existence project but that's not its only quality – it's written with stunning clarity, has absolutely no wasted words and is just generally very fluid and readable while at the same time being impeccably precise. It comes as no surprise that the author is a practicing lawyer as well as being a legal philosopher!
I'm yet to get deep into the philosophy of law part so I'll reserve judgement on that for now. But, based on early impressions, I highly recommend it to anyone wanting an introduction to Latour's work in general and, of course, anyone interested in socio-legal studies or anything of the sort should get their hands on it if they possibly can.
There are three extracts from the book on the AIME website (registration required):
The co-presence of [pol] and [law]
The ontology of lawyer jokes
Legal reasoning as de-stratification
I may write a (somewhat) more substantial review when I've finished the book.
