A propos de cet article

First Edition (1994) ; so stated. Very Near Fine in Fine DJ: The Book shows a hint of crimp to the heel of the backstrip; else flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a minor unobtrusive imperfection. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. Very close to 'As New'. The DJ is flawless. 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Large 8vo (9.25 x 6.25 x 1 inches) . Index. Language: English. Weight: 22.4 ounces. Hardback with DJ. This book is a trenchant analysis of the profound changes that are taking place in the whole scientific enterprise throughout the world. The author does not assume the reader has any technical knowledge of the natural sciences, their history, or politics, and addresses his book to everybody who is concerned about the future of science and its place in society. This text provides an in-depth but highly readable understanding of the many factors which have heavily weighed upon the objectivity of scientific systems and the freedom of scientists. A career scientist now sees their work fully largely by corporate forces as a potentially profitable endeavor, and Ziman explains the steps in history which lead towards this shift away from the individualistic, "disinterested" pursuit of knowledge and into the entanglement with particular interests. The image of modern science presented here really should be required reading for those who profess to love science, as it would shift their romance away from the imagined public notion that science IS objective & free and into a greater love for how it CAN be objective & free. This work provides fundamental details for truly coming to see science through a scientific or "aperspectival" lens; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; ix, 289 pages.…
