Sounding the Limits of Life: Essays in the Anthropology of Biology and Beyond - Princeton Studies in Culture and Technology
Stefan Helmreich
What is life? What is water? What is sound? In Sounding the Limits of Life, anthropologist Stefan Helmreich investigates how contemporary scientists--biologists, oceanographers, and audio engineers--are redefining these crucial concepts. Life, water, and sound are phenomena at once empirical and abstract, material and formal, scientific and social.
