Condizione: Bueno. : En 'El Golem: Lo que todo el mundo debería saber sobre ciencia', Harry Collins y Trevor Pinch exploran la naturaleza de la ciencia a través de estudios de caso intrigantes. Desacreditan la idea de que la ciencia es el resultado directo de la teorización, la observación y la experimentación competentes, sugiriendo que la certeza científica proviene de la interpretación de resultados ambiguos dentro de un orden impuesto por los propios científicos. Este libro invita a la reflexión y ofrece a los lectores una nueva perspectiva sobre el lugar de la ciencia en la sociedad.
