Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

An influential interdisciplinary study of how systems of classification and standardization shape knowledge, institutions, infrastructure, and everyday life. Geoffrey C. Bowker and Susan Leigh Star examine classification not simply as an organizational convenience but as a powerful and often invisible part of social and technological infrastructure. Case studies include the International Classification of Diseases, nursing classifications, racial classification under apartheid in South Africa, and scientific classifications of viruses and tuberculosis. Published in MIT Press’s Inside Technology series, the book has become a significant work in science and technology studies, information science, sociology of knowledge, infrastructure studies, and the study of data and classification systems. Edition: Copyright 1999; stated “First MIT Press paperback edition, 2000.” Number line 10 9 8 7, indicating a later printing of the paperback edition. Condition: Very Good- softcover. Covers remain clean and attractive overall with light rubbing, shelf wear, and minor edge and corner wear. Spine is straight with light handling wear. A partially removed former owner/address label remains at the upper corner of the half-title page, with adhesive residue and surface disturbance in that area. Interior pages shown are otherwise clean and well preserved, with no writing or highlighting observed in the pages examined. Binding is sound. Please see photographs for condition details. Significance / Collector Appeal: Sorting Things Out has become an important and frequently cited work on classification, information infrastructure, standards, and the social consequences of organizing knowledge. Its subject matter has only become more relevant with the growth of databases, algorithms, digital records, automated decision-making, and large-scale information systems. Shipping / Returns: Carefully packed for shipment. Domestic shipping via USPS Media Mail unless otherwise requested. Expedited and international shipping available where permitted. Returns accepted in accordance with AbeBooks policies. SCI 3b.
