They challenge the view that scientific ideas and technology travel unchanged from the global North to the global South - the view of technology as 'imported magic'. They describe not only alternate pathways for innovation, invention, and discovery but also how ideas and technologies circulate in Latin American contexts and transnationally. 410 0$aInside technology. 606 $aTechnology transfer$zLatin America 606 $aScience$zLatin America 606 $aTechnology$xSocial aspects$zLatin America 610 $aSCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY/General 615 0$aTechnology transfer 615 0$aScience 615 0$aTechnology$xSocial aspects 676 $a338.98/06 702 $aMedina$b Eden$f1976- 702 $aMarques$b Ivan da Costa 702 $aHolmes$b Christina$f1973- 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786744903321 996 $aBeyond imported magic$93716306 997 $aUNINA
