Description
Latour is a world famous and widely published French sociologist known for his acclaimed writings on the relationship between people, science, and technology. His views have crystallized as 'Actor-Network-Theory' (ANT). This book is the first concise account Latour has written about ANT, with which he has come to be so closely associated with.
This book makes ANT accessible and therefore a great resource for any student wishing to learn the language and ways of ANT.
