The Scientific Community

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"[This is] so well done that it will surely be a guide and stimulus to studies of other segments of the academic and pro-fessional communities... the author used data from various recent studies of academic people and has drawn on a va-ried literature... it lets the scientist talk... of their notions of what is the center of their world as against what are its margins... [A good deal of discus-sion is devoted to... the 'gift' of find-ings and theories by each scientist to the total scientific community... Hagstrom has described this system... very well indeed." -American Sociological Review
