On Beyond Living by Richard Doyle

"On Beyond Living makes an important contribution to the discourse on the social construction of molecular biologyIt will find a wide audience both in the social and cultural studies of science and in the rhetoric of science. The book fills a real and pressing need to look closely at assumptions and rhetorics that are all too often accepted without question. It is an important, indeed pathbreaking, book in its field."—N.
