Книга "Наука и технологии в обществе" представляет собой размышление о том, как наука и технологии взаимодействуют с обществом. Она вызывает сомнения в широко распространенном представлении о науке как о чем-то отдельном от общества, а также идею о том, что технологии развиваются автоматически и неизбежно. Авторы используют конкретные случаи, связанные с современными дискуссиями, чтобы показать, что наука и технологии являются неотъемлемой частью общества и формируются им. Они опираются на концепции политической социологии, анализа организаций и современной социальной теории, но избегают сложных теоретических дебатов. Книга включает случаи изучения и краткие резюме глав для студентов и ученых.
Science and Technology: From Marginalized to Center Stage challenges tenacious misconceptions about the way science is seen in society. It provides a clear counter narrative to popular thinking.
Science and Technology Inside Society, by Daniel Kleiman-Lee. This thought-provoking and carefully researched book challenges the widespread perception that science operates in a disengaged or even hostile way with society. In this important work, Kleiman Lee goes beyond the conventional postulating of technology progressing along a single, linear path to argue that scientific activity and innovation are effectively shaped by social forces as well as being affected by a changing society's varying needs. The author's mastery of a wide range of academic subjects is apparent throughout the work, offering a seamless transition between political sociological approaches, organizational analyses, and current social theories. At the same time, he takes care to present this material in an approachable manner, avoiding overly dense or theoretical debates in favor of examples and easily digestible summaries in the concluding chapters. This book will serve as a valuable resource for researchers in interdisciplinary fields such as Public Policy, Science Communication, and Science Studies, among others, and can be used alongside introductory-level surveys to develop a more nuanced understanding of the connection between technological development and societal processes.

Описание книги от Daniel Kleiman Lee
This thoughtful and engaging text challenges the widely held notion of science as somehow outside of society, and the idea that technology proceeds automatically down a singular and inevitable path. Through specific case studies involving contemporary debates, this book shows that science and technology are fundamentally part of society and are shaped by it. Draws on concepts from political sociology, organizational analysis, and contemporary social theory. Avoids dense theoretical debate. Includes case studies and concluding chapter summaries for students and scholars.
