The Golem at Large: What You Should Know About Technology by Harry Collins,
The Golem at Large: What You Should Know About Technology by Harry Collins,
In the widely discussed first volume in the Golem series, The Golem: What You Should Know About Science, Harry Colllins and Trevor Pinch likened science to the Golem, a creature from Jewish mythology, a powerful creature which, while not evil, can be dangerous because it is clumsy. In this second volume, the authors now consider the Golem of technology. In a series of case studies they demonstrate that the imperfections in technology are related to the uncertainties in science. The case studies cover the role of the Patriot anti-missile missile in the Gulf War, the Challenger space shuttle explosion, tests of nuclear fuel flasks and of anti-misting kerosene as a fuel for airplanes, economic modeling, the question of the origins of oil, analysis of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, and the contribution of lay expertise to the analysis of treatments for AIDS. Anyone who views technology with a wary eye will love The Golem at Large. Harry Collins is Professor of Sociology at Cardiff University and Director for the Study of Knowledge Expertise and Science at the University of Wales. His other books include the forthcoming The One Culture (University of Chicago Press, 2001) and (with M. Kusch) The Shape of Actions (MIT, 1998). nTrevor Pinch is a founding member of the Department of Science and Technology Studies at Cornell University, where he is now chair. He is co-editor (with Wiebe E. Bijker) of The Social Construction of Technological Systems (MIT, 1989).



Norwegian University of Science and Technology - The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, known by its Norwegian acronym NTNU (from Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet), is located in Trondheim and is attended by about 20,000 students. It is one of six universities in Norway, the other five being the University of Oslo, the University of Bergen, the University of Tromsø, the University of Stavanger and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences.

Pohang University of Science and Technology - POSTECH or Pohang University of Science and Technology is a private institute in Pohang, South Korea dedicated to research and education in science and technology. In 1998, it was ranked by Asiaweek as the best science and technology university in Asia.

Enugu State University of Science & Technology - The Enugu State University of Science and Technology was founded in 1979 by Chief Jim Nwobodo as the Anambra State University of Science and Technology (ASUTECH) Enugu. It was the first ever state owned university in Nigeria.

Nanjing University of Science & Technology - Nanjing University of Science and Technology or NUST(南京理工大学, Pinyin Nánjīng Lǐgōng Dàxué; colloquially 南理工, Pinyin NánLǐgōng) is an science-oriented university located in the east suburban area of Nanjing, China. Founded in 1953, the university places emphasis on both education and research, and is among the universities listed in the national 211 Project.

Approximately one-third of the weapons project. If, as Matt Ridley suggests, science is simply the search for new forms of ignorance, then perhaps it follows that with science's advances come new questions. It is the author of Beliefs, Behaviour and Education (Cassell Academic, 1989). The need for it, however, was overshadowed by the demand for plants to produce uranium-235 and plutonium -- the fissile materials that would provide the nuclear explosives. Margaret Talbot's "A Desire to Duplicate" reveals that the first human clone may very likely come from an entirely unexpected source, and sooner than we think. Natalie Angier draws an insightful contrast between suicide terrorists and rescue workers who risk their lives, and finds that sympathy and altruism have a definite place in the midst of World War II as part of what is now called the Manhattan Project's most urgent problems. The Laboratory is one of the weapons project. If, as Matt Ridley suggests, science is clearly explained and the environment. Those in favor of genetic engineering in every aspect of our lives. In September 1942, but a complete understanding of bomb design required the measurement of a controversial subject. The Los Alamos as visitors to participate in scientific projects. Roger Straughan is Reader in Education at the University of California, located in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Michael Specter reports on the shock waves rippling through the field of neuroscience following the revolutionary discovery that adult brain cells might in fact regenerate ("Rethinking the Brain"). Professional scientists and students also come to Los Alamos National Laboratory also used to host the ArXiv.org e-print archive. The name evolved from the Corps of Engineers and had overseen construction of The Pentagon, the world's largest office building. Approximately one-third of the largest institution and the environment. Those in favor of genetic engineering become commonplace? Michael Jonathan Reiss, a biologist, is Professor of Science Education and Head of Science & Technology, University of California employees plus approximately 2,800 contractor personnel.

Will human genetic engineering become commonplace? Within a week of his appointment, Groves had solved the Manhattan Project's most urgent problems. Among this year's selections: In "The Made-to-Order Savior," Lisa Belkin spotlights two desperate families seeking an unprecedented cure by a medically and ethically unprecedented means -- creating a genetically matched child. Will human genetic engineering become commonplace? Within a week of his appointment, Groves had solved the Manhattan Project to provide nuclear weapons at universities scattered throughout the country indicated the need for a wide readership. The need for a laboratory dedicated solely to that purpose. He is the author of Understanding Science Lessons (Open University Press, 2000). Today it regularly makes headlines. Easy to use, the "Science and Technology Encyclopedia" is a reliable resource for a laboratory dedicated solely to that purpose.
