Series Statement: Genetics and society

Content: "In the life sciences and beyond, new developments in science and technology and the creation of new social orders go hand in hand. In short, science and society are simultaneously and reciprocally coproduced and changed. Scientific research not only produces new knowledge and technological systems but also constitutes new forms of expertise and contributes to the emergence of new modes of living, at times empowering and at times disempowering citizens. These dynamic processes are tightly connected to significant redistributions of wealth and power, and they sometimes threaten and sometimes enhance democracy. Understanding this phenomenon poses important intellectual and normative challenges: neither traditional social sciences nor prevailing modes of democratic governance have fully grappled with the deep and growing significance of knowledge-making in twenty-first century politics. Building on new work in science and technology studies (STS), this book advances the systematic analysis of the coproduction of knowledge and power in contemporary societies. Using case studies in the new life sciences, supplemented with cases on informatics and other topics such as climate science, this book presents a theoretical framing of coproduction processes while also providing detailed empirical analyses and nuanced comparative work. It will be interesting for students of sociology, science and technology studies, the history of science, genetics, political science and public administration"..

Uniform Title: The newcomer

Content: Schon seit Langem ist Gina mit dem attraktiven Single-Dad Mac McCain befreundet. Zusammen haben sie Sorgen, Nöte und fröhliche Moment bei der Erziehung ihrer Töchter geteilt. Das vielleicht einmal mehr aus ihnen werden könnte, hat Gina selbst überrascht. Aber plötzlich tanzen Schmetterlinge in ihrem Bauch. In Macs Nähe fühlt sie sich wieder wie ein Teenager und kann einfach nicht genug von ihm bekommen. Doch ihr junges Glück wird jäh bedroht: Nachdem Macs Exfrau jahrelang verschwunden war, taucht sie nun ausgerechnet in dem Küstenstädtchen Thunder Point auf.
