The Cybernetic Brain: Sketches of Another Future
ISBN: 9780226667904 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 536 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cybernetics is often thought of as a grim military or industrial science of control. But as Andrew Pickering reveals in this beguiling book, a much more lively and experimental strain of cybernetics can be traced from the 1940s to the present.
"The Cybernetic Brain" explores a largely forgotten group of British thinkers, including Grey Walter, Ross Ashby, Gregory Bateson, R. D. Laing, Stafford Beer, and Gordon Pask, and their singular work in a dazzling array of fields. Psychiatry, engineering, management, politics, music, architecture, education, tantric yoga, the Beats, and the sixties...

Constructing Quarks: A Sociological History of Particle Physics
ISBN: 9780226667997 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 475 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Widely regarded as a classic in its field, Constructing Quarks recounts the history of the post-war conceptual development of elementary-particle physics. Inviting a reappraisal of the status of scientific knowledge, Andrew Pickering suggests that scientists are not mere passive observers and reporters of nature. Rather they are social beings as well as active constructors of natural phenomena who engage in both experimental and theoretical practice. "A prodigious piece of scholarship that I can heartily recommend."-Michael Riordan, New Scientist "An admirable history....

The Mangle in Practice: Science, Society, and Becoming
ISBN: 9780822343738 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In "The Mangle of Practice" (1995), the renowned sociologist of science Andrew Pickering argued for a reconceptualization of research practice as a "mangle," an open-ended, evolutionary, and performative interplay of human and non-human agency. While Pickering's ideas originated in science and technology studies, this collection aims to extend the mangle's reach by exploring its application across a wide range of fields including history, philosophy, sociology, geography, environmental studies, literary theory, biophysics, and software engineering.

Science as It Could Have Been: Discussing the Contingency/Inevitability Problem
ISBN: 9780822944454 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Could all or part of our taken-as-established scientific conclusions, theories, experimental data, ontological commitments, and so forth have been significantly different? Science as It Could Have Been focuses on a crucial issue that contemporary science studies have often neglected: the issue of contingency within science. It considers a number of case studies, past and present, from a wide range of scientific disciplines--physics, biology, geology, mathematics, and psychology--to explore whether components of human science are inevitable, or if we could have developed an alternative...
