On Beyond Living Rhetorical Transformations of the Life Sciences

"On Beyond Living makes an important contribution to the discourse on the social construction of molecular biology. It will find a wide audience both in the social and cultural studies of science and in the rhetoric of science. The book fills a real and pressing need to look closely at assumptions and rhetorics that are all too often accepted without question. It is an important, indeed pathbreaking, book in its field."-N. Katherine Hayles, University of California, Los Angeles
