xi, 219 pages ;24 cm. The origin of modern science is often located in Europe and the West. This Euro/West-centrism relegates emergent practices elsewhere to the periphery, undergirding analyses of contemporary transnational science and technology with traditional but now untenable hierarchical categories. In this book, Amit Prasad examines features of transnationality in science and technology through a study of magnetic resonance imaging research and development in the United States, Britain, and India Machine generated contents note: 1.
