The authors show how, throughout history, many bodies of research have become precarious due to a host of factors. These factors have included cultural or social disinterest, feeble empirical evidence or theoretical justifications, and a lack of practical applications in a given field's findings. This book brings together cases from a range of historical periods and disciplines, ranging from personal medicine to climatology, to illuminate the specific forms, functions, and dynamics of so-called \"weak\" bodies of knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Moritz Epple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3593509776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783593509778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Campus Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Moritz Epple","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50779112210687,"sku":"9783593509778","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/weak-knowledge-moritz-epple-9783593509778","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
