"The pioneering 'laboratory study' in the sociology of scientific
knowledge. . . . The first and, deservedly, the most influential
book-length account of day-to-day work in a single laboratory
setting."
*ISIS*
"Laboratory Life succeeds and will continue to succeed, and to win
friends and allies, because it contains good, persuasive ideas,
such as the analyses of modalities and of splitting. These ideas
have been generated by excellent social scientists. All the rest is
so much window undressing."---H. M. Collins, Isis
"Eight years after Laboratory Life first came out, it is still one
of my favourite books on the social studies of science. . . . [F]or
those in the business of reflecting on the nature of science who
have not yet read Laboratory Life, here is a good opportunity to
catch up and do so."---Ditta Bartels, Metascience
