Martin’s book chapter is available because he uses his own book as an example to his argument.  According to his book, there are different aspects to knowledge. You seek knowledge in your field a long with getting it from outside sources. Knowledge doesn’t remain the same, it can change over time along with our thoughts and discoveries in the world. Along with our biases in various ways, to various things. He states there is a bond between power and knowledge, through funding, disciplines, hierarchy and competition. People are so obsessed with holding on to that little bit of knowledge there so afraid to share and let it evolve. And in our fields we use it as a weapon in a hierarchy to keep people in line. When we shouldn’t be so closed minded, we should share our knowledge and add to it, help evolve as people, gaining knowledge in various disciplines. We should liberate our knowledge for the world to share and learn. That why Martin’s book chapter was available to read as a PDF on the web.
