Product description

A thought-provoking introduction to the discipline, this fascinating new book critically examines the fundamental assumptions of science from a sociological perspective. Focusing on Canadian research and examples, the text explores the central dichotomy between the ideal of science as a purely rational, objective channel of truth and the reality of science as a highly social human endeavour. Intended for sociology students with no background in science,
Sociology of Science offers a comprehensive overview of the many ways social structures and processes shape - and are shaped by - science.
