Summary

The book challenges a number of commonplace ideas about the authority of science. It serves as an enlightening introduction to the innovative work of the French philosopher Bruno Latour and more broadly to the sociology of modern sciences. It is intended primarily for scientists, but is also highly readable by a much wider public.
