Features: The long-awaited Handbook of Science and Technology Studies is indeed a monumental undertaking, both in terms of its length and the breadth of its sources. For the emerging developments in the field of Science and Technology Studies, this book offers rich and valuable guidance. As the editors put it, the handbook is a "superb yet engaging atlas that describes the state of the field during its specific historical period." The Handbook of Science and Technology Studies is the product of a large-scale research project organized by the 4S Society, the highest academic organization for international Science, Technology, and Society (STS), to systematize the achievements and insights of STS research. The book provides a thorough reckoning of the vast and diverse field of STS from all angles involved. It is an authoritative classic in the field of international STS research. It enjoys high recognition in fields such as the philosophy of science, sociology of science, science studies, science ethics, and Science and Technology in Society and Kosmos (STS-K), and has remained unmatched for decades.
