Part of a series examining different aspects of knowledge and society, this volume focuses on the anthropology of science and technology. Divided into three parts, it covers: the reconstruction of medical science and technology; science and technology at large; and discipline, culture and power.

This study of science and technology looks at knowledge systems. Topics covered include: mapping encounters and (en)countering maps - a critical examination of cartographic resistance; the intricacies of technology transfer - travel as mode and method; and science, local knowledge and community.

This volume contains research in science and technology studies. It covers topics ranging from the computer as gendered material culture to the use of material culture in Shaker society.

A commentary on the practice of knowledge and technology transfer and the practice of observation and intervention, this title documents the various ways in which knowledge and technology transfer happen in practice and how they result in new socio-technical arrangements.
