Description

Explore the relationship between science and society with Sciences and Cultures: Anthropological and Historical Studies of the Sciences: 5. This volume, part of the Sociology of the Sciences Yearbook series, examines the role of scientific advancement in the modern world. Since the second World War, the rapid success and expansion of science into social life have raised important questions regarding legitimacy and social impact.

It addresses the sense of problem and crisis that scientific growth can project within social structures, offering a scholarly look at how we understand the place of science in contemporary society.
