The science wars: debating scientific knowledge and technology
Keith M. Parsons (ed.)
Amherst, N.Y.: Prometheus Books (2003)
Abstract
Is science our most precious possession or has our culture elevated science into a false idol? Is technology a useful servant or a malign genie? These questions are at the centre of the 'science wars' currently being waged over the role and future of science and technology in our society. This balanced selection of a variety of perspectives on the hotly contested role of science and technology in contemporary society will clarify this vital debate for both specialists and non-specialists.Links
