Biography
Grammig, Thomas
'A useful addition to emerging thought on technical development projects.' - Saul Halfon, Science Technology and Human Values
'I think Grammig's study has much to offer a social studies audience. It opens up the very common development practice of TA to an analysis that moves far beyond the confines of technical assessment.' - Saul Halfon, Science Technology and Human Values
