In Jewish mythology the Golem is an effigy or image brought to life. While not evil, it is a strong, clumsy, and incomplete servant. Through a series of case studies, ranging from relativity and cold fusion to memory in worms and the sex lives of lizards, Harry Collins and Trevor Pinch debunk the traditional view that science is the straightforward result of competent theorisation, observation and experimentation and show that scientific certainty is the interpretation of ambiguous results." 000452871 650_0 $$aScience$$xHistory. 000452871 650_0 $$aScience$$xSocial aspects$$xHistory. 000452871 7001_ $$aPinch, Trevor,$$d1952- 000452871 85200 $$bgen$$hQA125$$i.C552$$i1998 000452871 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam0210/99161543.html 000452871 85641 $$3Table of contents$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/cam022/99161543.html 000452871 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:452871$$pGLOBAL_SET 000452871 980__ $$aBIB 000452871 980__ $$aBOOK
