Technical knowledge in American culture : science, technology, and medicine since the early 1800s, edited by Hamilton Cravens, Alan I Marcus, and David M. Katzman

Contributor
Summary
Technical Knowledge in American Culture addresses the relationships between what modern-day experts say to each other and to their constituencies and whether what they say and do relates to the larger culture, society, and era. These essays challenge the social impact model by looking at science, technology, and medicine not as social activities but as intellectual activities
