Zusatztext 'Political economy goes all the way down. It saturates every nook and cranny of the production of scientific knowledge, technology, and the endless supply of hi-tech devices, gizmos, and applications. There is nothing pure and simple about any of them as this Handbook incisively demonstrates. They are all sullied. There are always political economic stories to tell, which this book does with historical precision, theoretical verve and persuasive eloquence.' — Trevor Barnes, Professor of Geography, the University of British Columbia, Canada Informationen zum Autor David Tyfield is a Reader in Environmental Innovation and Sociology at the Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, UK, and Research Professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry (GIGCAS).
