PDF-(EBOOK)-Shaping Science: Organizations, Decisions, and Culture on NASA’s Teams

In Shaping Science Janet Vertesi draws on a decade of immersive ethnography with NASAs robotic spacecraft teams to create a comparative account of two great space missions of the early 2000s Although these missions featured robotic explorers on the frontiers of the solar system bravely investigating new worlds their commands were issued from millions of miles away by a very human team By examining the two teams formal structures decisionmaking techniques and informal work practices in the daytoday process of mission planning Vertesi shows just how deeply entangled a teams local organizational context is with the knowledge they produce about other worlds   Using extensive embedded experiences on two NASA spacecraft teams this is the first book to apply organizational studies of work to the laboratory environment in order to analyze the production of scientific knowledge itself Engaging and deeply researched Shaping Science demonstrates the significant influence that the social organization of a scientific team can have on the practices of that team and the results they yield.

Shaping New Dental Thought With Science. “The safety of dental materials has historically been assumed. Indeed, many materials have been classified by the FDA as ‘non- significant risk devices’. The testing is often superficial, with most interest directed toward physical performance of the material.

This magnificent volume offers a rich visual tour of the planets in our solar system. More than 200 breathtaking photographs from the archives of NASA are paired with extended captions detailing the science behind some of our cosmic neighborhood\'s most extraordinary phenomena. Images of newly discovered areas of Jupiter, fiery volcanoes on Venus, and many more reveal the astronomical marvels of space in engrossing detail. Anyone with an interest in science, astronomy, and the mysteries of the universe will delight in this awe-inspiring guide to the wonders of the solar system. In Shaping Science, Janet Vertesi draws on a decade of immersive ethnography with NASA’s robotic spacecraft teams to create a comparative account of two great space missions of the early 2000s. Although these missions featured robotic explorers on the frontiers of the solar system bravely investigating new worlds, their commands were issued from millions of miles away by a very human team. By examining the two teams’ formal structures, decision-making techniques, and informal work practices in the day-to-day process of mission planning, Vertesi shows just how deeply entangled a team’s local organizational context is with the knowledge they produce about other worlds.   Using extensive, embedded experiences on two NASA spacecraft teams, this is the first book to apply organizational studies of work to the laboratory environment in order to analyze the production of scientific knowledge itself. Engaging and deeply researched, Shaping Science demonstrates the significant influence that the social organization of a scientific team can have on the practices of that team and the results they yield.
