Science and Technology in Society (eBook, PDF)

From Biotechnology to the Internet

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This thoughtful and engaging text challenges the widely held notion of science as somehow outside of society, and the idea that technology proceeds automatically down a singular and inevitable path. Through specific case studies involving contemporary debates, this book shows that science and technology are fundamentally part of society and are shaped by it. * * Draws on concepts from political sociology, organizational analysis, and contemporary social theory. * Avoids dense theoretical debate. * Includes case studies and concluding chapter summaries for students and scholars.
