Description

Explore how science and technology shape society through this comprehensive academic text published by Macmillan. This scholarly work examines the sociology of science in practical, real-world contexts by analyzing the power of texts, actor-networks, and technological development. The book features contributions from leading scholars including M. Callon, J. Law, and A. Rip, offering critical perspectives on laboratory practice, scientific fact construction, and the mobilisation of resources through written communication. Structured across three main parts-introduction, the power of texts in science and technology, and mapping science-this title provides readers with essential frameworks for understanding how scientific knowledge is produced, circulated, and institutionalised. Ideal for students, researchers, and professionals in sociology, science studies, technology studies, and related disciplines seeking deeper insight into the mechanisms driving scientific and technological change.
