Description
Rethinking Expertise by Harry Collins and Robert Evans offers a radical new perspective on the role of expertise in science and technology. The authors present a Periodic Table of Expertises, exploring how tacit knowledge is used to judge others and evaluate credentials. The book examines how the public can make use of science and technology before there is consensus in the scientific community, with implications for public policy and those seeking to understand science. With its rich and detailed 'periodic table' of expertise, this book provides a valuable framework for understanding the complex relationships between experts, laypeople, and technology. This thought-provoking analysis has far-reaching consequences for how we evaluate and use technical scientific information in public controversies.
