Descrizione Disciplining Statistics
"Libby Schweber addresses both the institutional conditions of scientific change and the actual forms of knowledge produced. And she convincingly rejects the usual teleology of disciplines as what scientific practitioners always want and advanced states always need. She shows how the assertion of a discipline can be a sign of weakness, of inability to shape policy, really a course of action when all else fails."--Theodore M. Porter, author of "Trust in Numbers: The Pursuit of Objectivity in Science and Public Life"
