Perspectives on Classification in Synthetic Sciences (eBook, ePUB)

Unnatural Kinds
Redaktion: Bursten, Julia

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume refocuses conversations about classification on un-natural, or synthetic, kinds via extensive study of two paradigm cases of unnatural kinds: in the first place, nanomaterials, and in the second, stem cells and synthetic biology.
