Description
Science in Society by Matthew David provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the role of science in society. This text combines and applies various sociological approaches to explore the relationship between scientific knowledge and social progress, as well as the limitations of science in generating knowledge. Drawing on case studies from past to present, including new genetics, this book offers a clear and even-handed introduction to the field of science and technology studies. It examines how science has become central to debates over change, power and justice in twenty-first century societies.
