The Oxford Handbook of Time and Politics
The Oxford Handbook on Time and Politics is the first major publication that surveys time-centered research in political science across its sub-disciplines. As such, it integrates and consolidates an emergent body of knowledge, but also aims to inspire future scholarship. The Handbook highlights that paying systematic attention to time in political analysis yields questions and insights that are of relevance to a very broad range of political scientists working within different theoretical, methodological and epistemological traditions. The Handbook covers comparative politics and government; public policy; international relations; and political theory. Its authors are drawn from more than a dozen countries.
Revisiting Reflexivity
Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. This book explores the concept of reflexivity in science and technology studies and how it can be applied to address practical and ethical issues in research.
Exploring Science Communication
Exploring Science Communication demonstrates how science and technology studies approaches can be explicitly integrated into effective, powerful science communication research. Through a range of case studies, from climate change and public parks to Facebook, museums, and media coverage, it helps you to understand and analyse the complex and diverse ways science and society relate in today’s knowledge intensive environments. Notable features include: A focus on showing how to bring academic STS theory into your own science communication research Coverage of a range of topics and case studies illustrating different analyses and approaches Speaks to disciplines across Media & Communication, Science & Technology Studies, Health Sciences, Environmental Sciences and related areas. With this book you will learn how science communication can be more than just about disseminating facts to the public, but actually generative, leading to new understanding, research, and practices.
Osteoporosis
This is the first book to document comprehensively the ‘state of the art’ in the lifecourse epidemiology of osteoporosis. In detailed chapters, expert contributors describe the current and projected future burden of disease, developments in the understanding of risk factors for osteoporosis from cradle to grave, the underlying mechanisms, and advances in approaches to risk assessment and treatment. It is essential reading for all students on postgraduate courses in bone health, as well as an important reference for practitioners and researchers in osteoporosis, epidemiology, and related fields.
Ingenious
As humans evolved, we developed technologies to modify our environment, yet these innovations are increasingly affecting our behavior, biology, and society. Now we must figure out how to function in the world we’ve created. Over thousands of years, humans have invented ingenious ways to gain mastery over our environment. The ability to communicate, accumulate knowledge collectively, and build on previous innovations has enabled us to change nature. Innovation has allowed us to thrive. The trouble with innovation is that we can seldom go back and undo it. We invent, embrace, and exploit new technologies to modify our environment. Then we modify those technologies to cope with the resulting ...
Cartografías del cuerpo
El cuerpo ha sido considerado tradicionalmente por los estudios sociales y filosóficos como un mero recipiente o como un objeto que pertenecía más bien al orden de lo biológico. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas el feminismo, los estudios CTS y otros movimientos sociales han puesto el cuerpo en primer plano. Este libro sitúa los cuerpos o alguna de sus partes en las complicadas intersecciones entre las ciencias, las tecnologías y la política. En esta obra se ejemplifica desde diversas perspectivas y diferentes prácticas científico-tecnológicas la máxima latouriana: «la ciencia ¿y la tecnología¿ es política por otros medios».
