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.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Science, it would seem, is neither all good nor all bad. It gives us nuclear accidents and cures for disease, agricultural self-sufficiency and death in space flight. Harry Collins and Trevor Pinch liken science to the Golem, a creature from Jewish mythology, powerful yet potentially dangerous, a gentle, helpful creature that may yet run amok at any moment. Through a series of intriguing case studies of famous and not-so-famous scientific episodes, ranging from relativity and cold fusion to memory in worms and the sex lives of lizards, the authors debunk the idea that science is the straightforward result of competent theorisation, observation and experimentation. Closer to the truth, they suggest, is the realisation that scientific certainty comes from interpreting ambiguous results within an order imposed by scientists themselves. This thought-provoking account will give general readers a new perspective on the place of science in society. ' perverse but entertaining the writing is deft, the stories are good and there is not a boring page.' Nature ' a must for every science student.' Science Reporter. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR002936519
