Sommario/riassunto |
|
The cigarette is the deadliest artifact in the history of human civilization. It is also one of the most beguiling, thanks to more than a century of manipulation at the hands of tobacco industry chemists. In Golden Holocaust, Robert N. Proctor draws on reams of formerly-secret industry documents to explore how the cigarette came to be the most widely-used drug on the planet, with six trillion sticks sold per year. He paints a harrowing picture of tobacco manufacturers conspiring to block the recognition of tobacco-cancer hazards, even as they ensnare legions of scientists and politicians in a web of denial. Proctor tells heretofore untold stories of fraud and subterfuge, and he makes the strongest case to date for a simple yet ambitious remedy: a ban on the manufacture and sale of cigarettes. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
How do transnational communities of scientists emerge and evolve, and how does scientific cooperation interact with social and political integration in Europe? This collection assembles a wide array of analyses from philosophy and sociology of science and the social sciences tackling these questions from various perspectives. The contributions from philosophy investigate the foundations of social epistemology, and the features and development of significant transnational research communities in the natural sciences, while those from sociology and political science examine the various forms of interaction between transborder scientific and other expert activities and broader social and political integration. They are united by advancing our understanding of the complex network of transnational intellectual discourses, identities, interests, and integration in Europe. Contents Discoveries of oxygen and the «Chemical Revolution» in the context of European scientific networks. – From interaction to integration? Transnational scientific communities in biology. – Science and the manufacture of a political order: A sociological study of the European manned space programme. – European research programmes: Spaces of knowledge or economic tool? – Expert communities and security: Neofunctional integration in European policing practices. – An epistemic-consequentialist social epistemology as an epistemological perspective concerning the investigation of a common, European knowledge community Target Groups Lecturers and students of natural and social sciences and philosophy Practitioners in science promotion and science management The Editors Dr. Bertold Schweitzer is Lecturer in Politics and Philosophy at the University of Dundee. Dr. Thomas Sukopp is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy/Didactics of Philosophy at the University of Siegen. |
