Scholars of both sociology and science and technology studies will be informed, and at times captivated, by the depth and clarity of argument provided by the authors and by its implications for the responsible governance of science and technology.\u003cbr\u003ePhil Macnaghten, Professor of Technology and International Development, Wageningen University, The Netherlands \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this highly recommendable book, the authors make a convincing case for bringing social theory into the evolving discussion about responsibility in the context of science and technology. Their argument is stringently developed into an inspiring and promising heuristic framework for analysing responsibility. The book is a model of clarity and deserves a broad audience in science and technology studies, social theory, and beyond.\u003cbr\u003eNiels Mejlgaard, Centre Director, Danish Centre for Studies in Research and Research Policy, Aarhus University, Denmark \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthors\u003c\/b\u003eSimone Arnaldi is post-doctoral research fellow in sociology at the University of Padua, Italy.
