"'The Mangle of Practice' is an important imaginative contribution to the burgeoning field of science studies. It is a splendidly materialist piece of work, which deals with how knowledge and techniques are the upshot of human interaction with stuff - not just the materials under investigation, but also recalcitrant apparatus and machines, off-the-shelf instruments that need to be modified to work, and purchased or purified samples."Andrew Pickering is the author of 'The Mangle of Practice: Time, Agency, and Science', published 1995 under ISBN 9780226668024 and ISBN 0226668029.
