Rezension

`
The book breaks with established tradition in the history, philosophy and sociology of science by attempting to portray in one unified analysis, both the cognitive and social dimensions of the institutionalisation of the physical sciences. The analysis is therefore unique in its breadth of focus and shows how the traditional concerns of sociologists with generalised macrostructures of meaning and action can be related to the life worlds of individual scientists.
