Recenzii

“The book represents informative reading for the STS scholars interested in knowledge claims and expertise, and of course those interested in the life-course of medical devices, particularly on a meso or macro level. … Further, this work would surely help to paint a more complete picture of the medical innovation process that would be valuable to regulators and policy makers in this area, and even designers of health devices.” (Conor M. W. Douglas, Science Studies, Issue 1, 2012)
'Faulkner has...given us a broad-ranging scholarly analysis of a topic that will never cease to fascinate and challenge modern societies...[the] book brings a significant contribution to the current literature on health technology and society' - Sociology of Health and Illness
