Krautwurst nests the discussion of scientific culture within a series of levels from the lab to the global political economy. In the process he explores a number of topics, including: the social impact of technology; researchers'' relationships with sophisticated equipment; what scientists actually do in a laboratory; what role science plays in the contemporary university; and the way bioscience interacts with local, regional, and global governments. The result is a rich case study that illustrates a host of contemporary issues in the social study of science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments       Introduction Intraduction   A Beginning Is Always in the Middle of Something    Bioscience in an Out-of-the-Way Place: How It Got Started    The Organization of the Book: Magnifying Currents    Science Studies: A Brief Outline of Newtonian and Quantum Versions    Thirty Years of Bioscience in Action       A Theoretical and Methodological Intralude    An Indeterminate List of Agential Realist Concepts    Thinking through Methods, Thinking Methods through       1.
