A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

The Handbook is the most authoritative and extensive resource in the rapidly evolving field of science and technology studies. This masterful volume is the first in over 15 years to define, summarize and synthesize this complex multidisciplinary, international field. Expertly edited with contributions from internationally renowned academics, this volume addresses the crucial contemporary issues - both traditional and non-traditional - in social studies, policy studies, and humanistic studies of science and technology studies.

Containing theoretical essays, extensive literature reviews and detailed case studies of new issues and approaches, the Handbook of Science and Technology Studies clearly sets the standard for the field. Illustrating the vigorous intellectual development over the last 15 years this indispensable volume does nothing less than establish itself as a benchmark, one that will take the field well into the next century.
