In Velvet Revolution at the Synchrotron, Park Doing pushes lab studies into exciting new territory. -- Cyrus C. M. Mody, Metascience

A remarkable book: equal parts coming-of-age story and deep analysis of practice and politics at the research frontier. Park Doing's engaging study of life and work at a synchrotron laboratory expands our understanding of coordination, competition, expertise, and identity in the age of big science. This lively book sheds new light on the messy processes of knowledge-making--who counts as a scientist, and what counts as science--in the day-to-day life of a lab. --David Kaiser, author of Drawing Theories Apart: The Dispersion of Feynman Diagrams in Postwar Physics
