Description
Summary:Wiebe E. Bijker, Thomas P. Hughes and Trevor Pinch, eds:The Social Construction of Technological Systems. 2nd edition.MIT Press: Cambridge, MA, 2012. 425 pages. Sergio Sismondo: An Introduction to Science and Technology Studies. 2nd edition. Wiley-Blackwell: Chichester, West-Sussex, 2010. 244 pages.Book ReviewScience & Technology Studies, Vol. 26 (2013) No. 2, 101-104. Th e Social Construction of Technological Systems, fi rst published in 1987 as a classic statement of the social construction of technology’s (SCOT) research agenda, has been republished 25 years later, unchanged except for the addition of a new introduction and foreword. In this review of the new edition we consider the book’s relevance as a STS teaching tool setting it alongside a recently published second edition of Sismondo’s An Introduction to Science and Technology Studies, fi rst published in 2004. Th e two texts both situate themselves as teaching tools in their introductions.
