Following the Milan Universal Exposition, the scientific debate about food and nutrition has gained particular attention in 2015. As a result, this volume focuses on issues related to food safety, consumption, research and technology. Within the Hórisma project, funded by the University of Milano-Bicocca and the University of Milan, four young scholars investigated the possible developments of food production and consumption from different perspectives through a critical analysis on food trends in the international scenario. The main theme that links all the essays collected in this book is the belief that stimulating dialogue among different disciplines, as well as promoting an integrated and multidisciplinary approach, is crucial to face all the issues concerning food and its connections to law, technology, society, and science.

Vaccination, OGM, épidémies, contraception, changements climatiques: voilà des sujets portant à controverse où la science semble autant juge que partie. Mais que sait-on vraiment du fonctionnement de la science et de la technologie ? Louées ou honnies, elles font intimement partie de notre vie, sans que nous ne comprenions toujours comment, ou pourquoi. Ce dictionnaire unique en son genre cartographie nos liens complexes avec la science et la technologie envisagées comme phénomènes humains. Il détaille le vocabulaire et les questions de la « STS » (Sciences, technologies et sociétés), champ des sciences humaines voué à la compréhension critique des savoirs et de leurs usages. Chaque entrée présente l'état des recherches sur un aspect précis des sciences et des technologies et rend compte des acquis théoriques, des méthodes d'enquête et des débats en cours. Fruit du réseau d'expertise du Centre interuniversitaire de recherche sur la science et la technologie (CIRST), ce livre mobilise plusieurs disciplines - sociologie, philosophie, management, communication, science politique, histoire, économie et scientométrie -, tout en mettant à l'avant des concepts communs. Le grand public, les étudiants, les décideurs et les chercheurs y trouveront un outil de référence nécessaire pour réfléchir autrement à ces questions qui nourrissent nos inquiétudes et nos plus grands espoirs.

Science as Service: Establishing and Reformulating American Land-Grant Universities, 1865-1930 is the first of a two-volume study that traces the foundation and evolution of America's land-grant institutions. In this expertly curated collection of essays, Alan I Marcus has assembled a tough-minded account of the successes and set-backs of these institutions during the first sixty-five years of their existence. In myriad scenes, vignettes, and episodes from the history of land-grant colleges, these essays demonstrate the defining characteristic of these institutions: their willingness to procla
