This book situates and carefully addresses the critics of Fuller’s work in the context of ongoing crises of authority in science and technology studies, expertise, the university, democracy, and the mass media.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrancis Remedios\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Canadian independent scholar with a PhD from Institute of Philosophy, University of Leuven.
