Editorial Reviews
Book Description
"One of the most significant research programs in science studies today is that of Daniel Lee Kleinman. Not only does he utilize the ethnographic methods of the laboratory studies to integrate micro- and macrosociological perspectives, but he also analyzes the political economy of laboratory life to point to important policy problems that the privatizing patterns of contemporary biology raise for the public good."-David Hess, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
"Kleinman's confident mustering of evidence and argument results in an original, soundly based piece of scholarship that is both topical, socially important, and effective. The writing is clear throughout, covering technical material (both biological and sociological) competently. . . . For those interested in lab studies, this will be a 'must read.'"-Brian Martin, University of Wollongong
