First published in 1988, this book provides students with a way to
increase their understanding of the role of science and technology
in society. Steven Yearley draws on and develops ideas from
research in the sociology and politics of science to address, in
particular: the nature of scientific knowledge and the authority it
commands; the political and economic role of science in the West;
the relationship between science, technology, and social change in
underdeveloped countries. Examples used range from
nineteenth-century brain science to the strategic defence
initiative, and from hugely expensive experiments in nuclear
physics, to proposals for inexpensive boat-building programmes in
the Sudan. Overall, this reissue provides a comprehensive and
stimulating account of the role played by science and technology in
contemporary social change.
