Description:

Applying the insights (but fortunately not the jargon) of contemporary textual analysis in a most original way, Myers (linguistics and modern English, U. of Lancaster, UK) argues that scientific "facts" are not given by the world, but emerge from the very processes (writing, revising, editing, critique, popularization) of scientific writing itself.
