"This is a strong survey of the field of STS. It covers a lot of ground in ten concise essays that are accessible to non-experts in the field, yet detailed and provocative enough to hold the attention of the more advanced reader." — Joseph R. Herkert, editor of Social, Ethical, and Policy Implications of Engineering: Selected Readings"The book is useful, in relatively specific terms (e.g., on the issue of technological determinism) in helping any reader think about the relationships of science, technology, and society. It is also useful in broader terms for those working in and thinking about STS as a field." — Jesse S. Tatum, author of Energy Possibilities: Rethinking Alternatives and the Choice–Making Proce
