A systematic account of the importance of sociology for the understanding of scientific knowledge. Applying sociological analysis to specific historical case studies, the work attempts to show how the sociological approach is an essential complement to interpretations of scientific knowledge from other disciplines, and a necessary contribution to obtaining a scientific understanding of science. This book should be of interest to students in the social sciences and the history and philosophy of science, and to academics interested in knowledge, epistemology, the history of ideas and the new...

Claude Henry Hudson is so simple that he's complex. He wears his heart on his sleeve then puts a jacket on.
His funeral features laughter, tears, and people from his life that can truly tell the special stories.
Heaven is a virtual who's who of history. The "celebrity" of it all preoccupies his mind. An innocent checker game between General Robert E. Lee and General George Gordon Meade commemorating the Battle of Gettysburg renews sectional differences of opinion between North and South.
Claude somehow becomes an integral part of this historic rivalry. A hundred-yard battlefield...

In 2003 the Human Genome Project announced that it had achieved a stunning scientific breakthrough: the full map of the human genome, and with it our first complete picture of the basic building block of human life. Since then, boasts about the benefits--and warnings of the dangers--of genomics have remained front-page news. For the nonscientist, the claims and counterclaims are dizzying--what does it really mean to understand the genome? Barry Barnes and John Dupre offer an answer to that question and many more in Genomes and What to Make of Them, a clear and lively account of the...

Intriguingly different in approach from conventional works in the same area of inquiry, this study deals with the central problems and concerns of the sociology of knowledge as it has traditionally been conceived of.

Barry Barnes takes the classic writings in the sociology of knowledge - by Marx, Lukacs, Weber, Mannheim, Goldmann, Habermas and others - and uses them as resources in coming to...

Over the past quarter century, social theory has moved in diverse and often seemingly incompatible directions, exaggerating differences of approach that existed even in earlier periods. In a strikingly original book, Barry Barnes uses this intellectual diversity not only to identify but also to unify the central ways of looking at the field. Barnes frames his task by addressing the most important problem confronting all students of society today: the apparent conflict between cultural and functional methods of describing the social order, on one hand, and choice-theoretic accounts, on the...
