The negotiation of evidence is at the heart of this process. Starting from the premise that evidence constitutes a central, but also essentially contested concept in contemporary knowledge-based societies, this volume focuses on how evidence is generated and applied in practice-in other words, on \"evidence in action.\" The contributions analyze and compare different evidence practices within the field of science and technology, how they interlink with different forms of power, their interaction with and impact on the legal and political domain, and their relationship to other, more heterodox forms of evidence that challenge traditional notions of evidence. In doing so, this volume provides much-needed context and historical background to contemporary debates on the so-called \"post-truth\" society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEvidence in Action\u003c\/em\u003e is the perfect resource for all those interested in the relationship between science, technology, and the role of knowledge in society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Ehlers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032037059\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032037059\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Sarah Ehlers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075478876415,"sku":"9781032037059","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e95147f-3391-44d8-a1a6-77d79a0903b1.jpg?v=1685459664","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evidence-in-action-between-science-sarah-ehlers-9781032037059","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
