About this product
Product Information
Science, it would seem, is neither all good nor all bad. It gives us nuclear accidents and cures for disease, agricultural self-sufficiency and death in space flight. 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 of famous and not-so-famous scientific episodes, ranging from relativity and cold fusion to memory in worms and the sex lives of lizards, the authors debunk the idea that science is the straightforward result of competent theorisation, observation and experimentation. Closer to the truth, they suggest, is the realisation that scientific certainty comes from interpreting ambiguous results within an order imposed by scientists themselves. This thought-provoking account will give general readers a new perspective on the place of science in society. '... perverse but entertaining ... the writing is deft, the stories are good and there is not a boring page.' Nature '... a must for every science student.' Science Reporter

WOW! FREE shipping & arrived from IRELAND IN 6 Days! That’s a PERFECT 5*****STAR Seller! This rarer book was in good condition-better than even described. Communication w shipping was constant. Book was safely packaged. I’m still amazed-sending this book from Across the pond in 6 Days, w US customs using up extra time, as well. (I can’t even mail a card-from FL to NYC in 6 days & that’s w first class postage & w/o US custom’s to add a delay) MANY THANKS TO AN HONEST, Caring & Exemplary Store!!!
