商品簡介
A series of case studies explore how new sciences and technologies are created, coordinated, and managed. They offer evidence that technologies are the contingent result of complex, local-global, dynamic processes and describe them as social negotiations between the planners and such actors as firms, government agencies, and engineers. Among the cases examined are ship propellers, human genome research, military aircraft, and radioactive waste disposal. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
