Protecting Yellowstone: Science and the Politics of National Park Management
Yellowstone National Park looks like a pristine western landscape populated by its wild inhabitants: bison, grizzly bears, and wolves.

Science After the Practice Turn in the Philosophy, History, and Social Studies of Science
In the 1980s, philosophical, historical and social studies of science underwent a change which later evolved into a turn to practice.

Systems of Reason and the Politics of Schooling: School Reform and Sciences of Education in the Tradition of Thomas S. Popkewitz

Drawing on the work and insights of educational researcher Thomas S. Popkewitz, this book shows how the linguistic turn provided an alternative to both mainline educational research groun...
