Praise for previous editions: "No one has produced a more formidable body of work on technology, politics, and decision making than Dorothy Nelkin; and I, like many others, have come to look forward to each new installment. Controversy, a set of case studies edited by Nelkin... easily earns its place on my bookshelf." - Knowledge "[A] marvelous collection of case studies.... I hope that the cases in this book are widely read and discussed by business and government executives as well as students." - The American Political Science Review
