" Science and technology have immense authority and influence in our society, yet their working remains little understood. The conventional perception of science in Western societies has been modified in recent years by the work of philosophers, sociologists and historians of science. In this book Bruno Latour brings together these different approaches to provide a lively and challenging analysis of science, demonstrating how social con ..."

Laboratory Life(Reprint)
The Construction of Scientific Facts, 2nd Edition
by Director Bruno Latour, Steve Woolgar, Jonas Salk, Seve Woolgar
Paperback, 296 Pages, Published 1986 by Princeton University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-691-02832-3, ISBN: 0-691-02832-X

" This highly original work presents laboratory science in a deliberately skeptical way: as an anthropological approach to the culture of the scientist. Drawing on recent work in literary criticism, the authors study how the social world of the laboratory produces papers and other "texts,"' and how the scientific vision of reality becomes that set of statements considered, for the time being, too expensive to change. The book is based ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-674-98402-8, ISBN: 0-674-98402-1

"Over the past twenty-five years, Bruno Latour has developed a research protocol different from the actor-network theory with which his name is now associated--a research protocol that follows the different types of connectors that provide specific truth conditions. These are the connectors that prompt a climate scientist challenged by a captain of industry to appeal to the institution of science, with its army of researchers and mountai ..."

"Technology is everywhere, yet a theory of technology and its social dimension remains to be fully developed. Building on the influential book The Social Construction of Technological Systems, this volume carries forward the project of creating a theory of technological development and implementation that is strongly grounded in both sociology and history. The 12 essays addr ..."

Thinking with Whitehead(Reprint)
A Free and Wild Creation of Concepts

Paperback, 554 Pages, Published 2014 by Harvard University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-674-41697-0, ISBN: 0-674-41697-X

"Alfred North Whitehead has never gone out of print, but for a time he was decidedly out of fashion in the English-speaking world. In a splendid work that serves as both introduction and erudite commentary, Isabelle Stengers―one of today’s leading philosophers of science―goes straight to the beating heart of Whitehead’s thought. The product of thirty years’ engagement with the mathematician-philosopher’s entire canon, this volume establi ..."
