Making Science by Steve Cole
The sociology of science is dominated today by relativists who boldly argue that the content of science is not primarily determined by evidence from the empirical world but is instead socially constructed in the laboratory. "Making Science" is a serious critique by a sociologist of the social constructivitst position. It argues that although the focus of scientific research, the rate of scientific advance, and indeed the everyday making of science are influenced by social variables and processes, the content of the core of science is constrained by nature.
STEPHEN COLE's previous books include The Canadian Hockey Atlas; The Last Hurrah: A Celebration of Hockey's Greatest Season '66--'67; and a hockey humour anthology, Slapshots. He is also the author of a history of CBC-TV, Here's Looking at Us. Cole has written on movies and TV for The Globe and Mail and the National Post, and his short stories have appeared in Quarry and Descant. He lives in Toronto with his wife, Jacquie McNish, and their sons, Harry and Lewis.
