"There is no comparable anthology in which so many [science studies classics] can be accessed so conveniently... It is easy to predict a bright future for the collection as assigned reading for seminars in interdisciplinary science studies, and indeed I have already put it to use successfully in just that way." -- Jan Golinsky, Isis"Catalog Blurb." -- Bulletin of Science, Technology & Science"Collecting the founding articles of science studies all in one place, for the first time...The Science StudiesReader is essential reading for anyone interested inscience and technolgy.
