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'.
