How can more appropriate technologies be developed for those most in need? Science has long promised much -- new crops, new medicines, new sources of energy, new means of communication -- but the potential of new technologies has frequently bypassed the poorest people and the poorest countries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Science and Technology for Developmen\u003c\/em\u003et, James Smith explores the complex relationship between society and technology, and the potential for science to make sustainable contributions to global development.
