The important role played by science and technology and the poten�al for dual use makes it impera�ve to evaluate scien�fic research and its products not only on their scien�fic but also on their human rights merits. In Science as a Cultural Human Right, Helle Porsdam argues robustly for the role of the right to science now and in the future.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Offers a novel way of looking at plas�c as the defining material of our age and at the plas�city of plas�c as an innova�ve means of understanding the arts and literature. Ghosh terms this approach the materialaesthe�c and, through this concept, traces the emergence and development of plas�c polymers along the same historical trajectory as literary modernism.
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS
A son’s story about growing up with a father who was an astronaut and flew on the Apollo 14 mission. Roosa’s story shows the Apollo era was the result not only of thousands of scien�sts and engineers working steadfastly toward achieving an assassinated president’s na�onal goal but also the families who supported them and lived the missions in their own way.

To answer the ques�on of what cogni�ve psychology is you must first understand its theore�cal founda�ons—founda�ons which have o�en received very li�le a�en�on in modern textbooks.

Why do so many organiza�ons fail to mobilize the social networks of employees to respond to disrup�ons, innovate, and change? In Digital Rela�onships, Jason Davis argues that individual and organiza�onal interests about networking can come out of alignment such that the network �es that individuals form are organiza�onally sub-op�mal for achieving their most ambi�ous goals.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Lamdan brings us into the unregulated underworld of "data cartels," demonstra�ng how the en��es mining, hoarding, commodifying, and selling our data and informa�onal resources perpetuate social inequali�es and threaten the democra�c sharing of knowledge.

Addresses the Japanese government's efforts to develop care robots in response to the challenges of an aging popula�on, rising demand for elder care, and a cri�cal shortage of care workers.
