• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume showcases doubt from within the scientific community. These sources dwell upon the moments at which ideas became challenged and when knowns reverted to unknowns. But the focus is on the ways in which scientists adjusted themselves to new landscapes of uncertainty in their particular cultural and professional practices.
