{"product_id":"the-tangle-of-science-nancy-cartwright-9780198866343","title":"The Tangle of Science: Reliability Beyond Method, Rigour, and Objectivity","description":"Science is remarkably reliable. It puts people on the moon, performs laser eye surgery, tells us about ancient civilizations and species, and predicts the future of our climate. What underwrites this reliability? This book argues that the standard answers--the scientific method, rigour, and objectivity--are insufficient for the job. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere we propose a new model of science which places its products front and centre. In \u003cem\u003eThe Tangle of Science\u003c\/em\u003e we show how any reliable piece of science is underpinned by a vast, diverse, and thick network of other scientific products. In doing so we bring back into focus areas of science that have been long neglected, emphasizing how every product, from the screws that hold the space shuttle together, to ways of measuring the consumer price index, to Einstein's theory of general relativity, work together to support results we can trust.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Cartwright, Jeremy Hardie, Eleonora Montuschi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198866348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198866343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.60w x 1.20d","brand":"Nancy Cartwright","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069591580927,"sku":"9780198866343","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7374628a-cb5f-4d7d-846e-d1c398f77540.jpg?v=1685425503","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-tangle-of-science-nancy-cartwright-9780198866343","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
