Cultural critics argue that the results of scientific inquiry is shaped by ideological and political agendas. This hard-hitting collection of essays offers crisp and detailed critiques of case studies as evidence that scientific investigation today tells us more about social context than about the natural world. This book raises a lively debate to a new level of seriousness. 17 linecuts.
