| DESCRIPTION: Donna Haraway analyses
accounts, narratives, and stories of the creation of nature, living organisms,
and cyborgs (cybernetic components); showing how deeply cultural assumptions
penetrate into allegedly value-neutral medical research.
"A perplexingly brilliant collection of essays." Christianity and Crisis
"To read this book is to take a journey with a marvellous guide to the
recent history of feminist thought about science, culture, and society,
a guide who is by graceful turns humorous, gentle, angry, wickedly irreverent,
self-reflective and able to push the reader to sometimes frightening edges
of new insights."
