Science Studies
The first comprehensive survey of the nascent field of "science studies" Thrust into the public eye by the contentious "Science Wars"—played out most recently by physicist Alan Sokal's hoax—the nascent field of science studies takes on the political, historical, and cultural dimensions of technology and the sciences. Science Studies is the first comprehensive survey of the field, combining a concise overview of key concepts with an original and integrated framework. In the process of bringing disparate fields together under one tent, David J. Hess realizes the full promise of science studies, long uncomfortably squeezed into traditional disciplines. He provides a clear discussion of the ...
Science in the New Age
Hess examines the arguments of people who accept the paranormal as part of a spiritual quest, parapsychologists who are seeking scientific explanations for a narrow range of paranormal phenomena, and skeptics who pooh-pooh the very notion. He finds that, despite their disagreements, they are forging a shared culture. Written for the nonspecialist. Paper edition (unseen), $17.95. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Ella, a Tale of Love, War and Redemption
Young Civil War Veteran, Nicholas Haff returned home from Gettysburg, anticipating a normal life with his childhood sweetheart, Ella. But he found that very little was what he expected. Not only were the people at home not how he remembered them, but the atrocities he saw and lived through during his time with the 151st Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment has changed him and filled him with uncontrollable rage. Everyone he meets, men and women and children, have all been damaged by the violence and cruelty of the war. His path forward to find peace and love in his life takes many unexpected turns. Nicholas's personal demons complicate matters when he finds himself immersed in other people's nightmares. Now, only his own quest to find love and self-acceptance will give him the peace he so desperately seeks.
Undone Science
A theoretical integration of science and technology studies and social movement studies that finds both common ground and “undone” research. As the fields of social movement studies (SMS) and science and technology studies (STS) have diversified in topical focus, they have moved closer to each other. SMS has turned toward the study of nonstate targets and institutionalized repertoires of action, just as STS has turned to expertise and publics. In Undone Science, David Hess argues that a theoretical integration of core concepts in the two fields is now possible, and he presents just such a synthesis. Hess focuses on industrial transition movements—mobilized counterpublics of activists, ...
The Stick and The String: A Fisherman's Journal
This is the second installment of journal's written by David Robert Hess, Jr. The journal was meant as a way for his two son's, Robert "Bo" and Brody "Chief", to relive their dad's exploits in the waters of Pennsylvania. The stories are told with such great detail, that you can almost feel the warmth of the sun on your face as you stand knee deep in a stream.
