Recenzje

Testing Hearing explores 'the co-creation of epistemic and auditory cultures-indeed, the creation of modern aurality'...Testing Hearing has a thematic architecture, with sections focusing on the history of tests that screened human hearers 'out' and 'in'...Testing Hearing is also exemplary in its involvement of two experts in testing in the sciences, Hans-J"org Rheinberger and Trevor Pinch, who offer supplementary commentaries on the collection' chapters from, respectively, the perspective of the history of science and that of science and technology studies (STS).
