In the 1940s and 1950s Australian pulp fiction jostled with magazines and comics at newsstands. Tariff kept the local 'industry' cheap and viable and offered Australian writers national and international careers.In this publication, the third in the National Library's popular "Collector's Book" series, Toni Johnson-Wood explores the history, the authors, the genres and the lurid covers of this once-popular literary form.
This highly original work presents laboratory science in a deliberately skeptical way: as an anthropological approach to the culture of the scientist. Drawing on recent work in literary criticism, the authors study how the social world of the laboratory produces papers and other "texts,"' and how the scientific vision of reality becomes that set of statements considered, for the time being, too expensive to change. The book is based on field work done by Bruno Latour in Roger Guillemin's laboratory at the Salk Institute and provides an important link between the sociology of modern sciences and laboratory studies in the history of science.
Includes section, "Recent book acquisitions" (varies: Recent United States publications) formerly published separately by the U.S. Army Medical Library.
