Review

"I have found ELEMENTS useful in several ways. First, it is useful to students with no background in science at all. Second, it is useful for students who are in "scientific" disciplines. Some of the biologists or chemists have never been introduced to social science as a method All in all, the book gives us common ground for understanding science, social science in particular, so we can discuss its relationship to technology and the rest of society."
