This historiographical arrangement excludes, of course, a less empiricist and more literary genre, which might be associated with, for example, Pick's David War machine: The rationalisation of slaughter in the modern age (New Haven, 1993).

For a comprehensive review of more directly relevant debates, see Lynch Michael, Scientific practice and ordinary action: Ethnomethodology and social studies of science (Cambridge, 1993), 39–116.
