“In clear and understandable language, this introduction to
STS brings home the point that science and technology are social
constructions by human communities. Its applications range from
science’s border with religion, to cyborgs, robots, and new
reproductive technologies. Students will quickly turn on to what
STS is all about.” Randall Collins, University of
Pennsylvania
“Amidst the science wars this book reads as a peace
treaty: skillfully navigating between the sirens of absolutism and
relativism, the authors lead the reader into the land of
technoscience." Jean Paul Van Bendegem, Vrije Universiteit
Brussel
“…recommend[ed] for its robust and engaging
argument, political concerns and ambitions, and challenge to
readers to explore their own beliefs and experiment with new
visions.”
