Science, Social Theory & Public Knowledge

by Alan Irwin

This topical and unique book draws together the three key perspectives on science-society public understanding of science, scientific and public governance, and social theory. The book presents a series of case studies (including the debates on genetically modified foods and the AIDS movement in the USA) to discuss critically the ways in which social theorists, social scientists, and science policy makers deal with science-society relations.
