Product Description

Review
Latour's "Science in Action" is a "must read" for all sociologists, not just because the sociology of science is a dynamic and growing subdiscipline, but more importantly because Latour's thesis challenges the notions that underlie sociologists' efforts to distinguish our field as a "science."..Latour's thesis is that science, including sociology, is collective action and that facticity is a consequence, not a cause, of collective action...An excellent and enjoyable introduction to the sociology of science. -- Joan H. Fujimura "Contemporary Sociology"

4.0 out of 5 stars Read this book!, 9 Jan 2002
By A Customer
You will like this book if you are interested in organizations and organizing. My favorit part is the last chapter about "Centres of Calculation", but I am sure you will find your own. Latour also argues about research method and gives us (reseachers) one view on how to follow scientits and engineers around.
