Constructing Quarks : A Sociological History of Particle Physics Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Recounts the history of the post-war conceptual development of elementary-particle physics.

Inviting a reappraisal of the status of scientific knowledge, the text suggests that scientists are not mere passive observers and reporters of nature.

Rather they are social beings as well as active constructors of natural phenomena who engage in both experimental and theoretical practice.
