Binding: Paperback
Description: Harry Collins and Trevor Pinch liken science to the Golem a creature from Jewish mythology powerful yet potentially dangerous a gentle helpful creature that may yet run amok at any moment. Through a series of intriguing case studies the authors debunk the traditional view that science is the straightforward result of competent theorisation observation and experimentation. The very well - received first edition generated much debate reflected in a substantial new Afterword in this second edition which seeks to place the book in what have become known as 'the science wars'.
