Download or read book The Pasteurization of France written by Bruno Latour and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1993-10-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can one man accomplish, even a great man and brilliant scientist? Although every town in France has a street named for Louis Pasteur, was he alone able to stop people from spitting, persuade them to dig drains, influence them to undergo vaccination? Pasteur’s success depended upon a whole network of forces, including the public hygiene movement, the medical profession (both military physicians and private practitioners), and colonial interests. It is the operation of these forces, in combination with the talent of Pasteur, that Bruno Latour sets before us as a prime example of science in action. Latour argues that the triumph of the biologist and his methodology must be understood within the particular historical convergence of competing social forces and conflicting interests. Yet Pasteur was not the only scientist working on the relationships of microbes and disease. How was he able to galvanize the other forces to support his own research? Latour shows Pasteur’s efforts to win over the French public—the farmers, industrialists, politicians, and much of the scientific establishment. Instead of reducing science to a given social environment, Latour tries to show the simultaneous building of a society and its scientific facts. The first section of the book, which retells the story of Pasteur, is a vivid description of an approach to science whose theoretical implications go far beyond a particular case study. In the second part of the book, “Irreductions,” Latour sets out his notion of the dynamics of conflict and interaction, of the “relation of forces.” Latour’s method of analysis cuts across and through the boundaries of the established disciplines of sociology, history, and the philosophy of science, to reveal how it is possible not to make the distinction between reason and force. Instead of leading to sociological reductionism, this method leads to an unexpected irreductionism.

Book excerpt: The Pacific coast is the most iconic region of California and one of the most fascinating and rapidly changing places in the world. Densely populated, urbanized, and industrializedand also home to complex, fragile ecosystemsthe coast is the place where humanity and nature coexist in a precarious balance that is never perfectly stable. This is a dramatic snapshot of the California coasts past, present, and probable future in a time of climate change and expanding human activity. Written by two marine experts who grew up on the coast, The Edge is both an appreciation of the coasts natural and cultural uniqueness and a warning of the changes that threaten that uniqueness. As ocean levels rise, coastal communities are starting to erode, and entire neighborhoods have been lost to the sea. Coastal ecosystems and wildlife that were already stressed by human settlement now face new dangers. Fisheries, oil drilling, recreation, housing and environmental advocates compete to define the future of the region. A masterful and sweeping synthesis of environmental and social science, The Edge presents a comprehensive portrait of the history, people, communities, industries, ecology, and wildlife of the coast.

Book excerpt: In the fall of 1961, student journalists on the Stanford Daily are forbidden by school authorities and their Chief Editor (who has a nefarious secret of his own to hide) from investigating a campus suicide and murder for fear of damaging the reputation of the "Harvard of the West". Unfazed by the admonition to cease and desist and spurred on by the intriguing tale of a freshman coed, Mattie, who suffers from amnesia that has caused her to forget that she is a student, Rita, Joe, and Jamison set about investigating the deaths and helping Mattie recover her memory and unravel her nightmares of childhood sexual abuse. Mattie wonders if she might have been sexually assaulted while serving as a subject in a hypnosis experiment. Rita, an advocate for gender equality, has already been investigating prior claims of harm to coeds in these studies. Joe, the product of a working-class union family, is convinced there is a connection to the Full Moon incident-a campus prank that degenerated into violent threats of rape against female students. Jamison, a pre-law student with his eye on civil rights issues, steps up to protect Mattie's rights with the university. Will the answers be found within the halls of academia or does the trail of sinister suggestions extend beyond the confines of the campus? Have the husband and wife team of psychologist and physician in charge of the hypnosis studies failed in their duty to protect students? Will the young journalists' determination to solve the deaths and Mattie's dilemma send more than one of them to their doom?In a year in which America hovered between Camelot and catastrophe, the novel's themes-the hazards of academic research, the rights of students, the equality of women, the specter of racism, the abuse of power among physicians, and the toll of childhood sexual trauma on later life-foreshadow, by nearly 60 years, many of the potent issues we face today. And the news of that day-Syria, a wall to keep peoples apart, nuclear threats, Russian treachery, and civil rights protests-seem eerily familiar.
