There is no prose here to match Melville's, but the scope is worthy of the great white whale. No one could possibly write a comprehensive, authoritative book on ethics, invention and discovery. I have not tried to, though I hope my bibliography will be a useful starting point for other explorers, and the cases and ideas presented here will keep people arguing for years. Although this book is nothing like a textbook, it is written for my students. I was trained as a teacher of psychology in graduate school and ended-up, by one of those happy chances of the job market, teaching psychology to engineering students rather than psyche majors. My dissertation and early research were in the psychology of scientific hypothesis-testing (see Chapter 2). When I team-taught a course with W. Bernard Carlson, a historian of technology, I saw how cognitive psychology might be applied to the study of invention. Bernie and I received funding from the National Science Foundation for three years of research on the invention of the telephone; a portion of that work is described in Chapter 3.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51929889505568,"sku":"NEW1461375894","price":160.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/transforming-nature-ethics-invention-and-discovery-1461375894","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
