It focuses on the studied 'lack of haste' of science, its relative stress-freeness and its socially sanctioned withdrawal from the swift pace of ordinary life. Unhastening Science offers a balanced and thoughtful argument which emphasises the dangers of cosseting science from the 'scourge' of internal competition while at the same time highlighting the need for 'distance' between the process of scientific thought and the faster machinery of politics, business, sports, and the media. 410 0$aStudies in social and political thought ;$v7. 606 $aKnowledge, Sociology of 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects 615 0$aKnowledge, Sociology of. 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects. 676 $a306.4/5 700 $aPels$b Dick$f1948-$0880890 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782020403321 996 $aUnhastening science$93806610 997 $aUNINA
