Controversies in Science and Technology: From Maize to Menopause
Daniel Lee Kleinman, Abby J. Kinchy, Jo Handelsman
Despite the subtitle, this is not the middle volume of a long alphabetically series, but a stand-alone anthology of 19 original studies. Scholars of medical, environmental, and social sciences cover the overuse of antibiotics on the farm; global issues concerning genetically modified crops; the science, culture, and history of hormone replacement therapy and menopause; and smallpox and bioterrorism. Their goal is to help readers think about the issues regarding how science and technology affect their daily lives.
