	Study on the History, philosophy of science – currently referred as Science and Technology Studies in the academic mainstream – is a relatively new endeavour on the Malaysian academic scene. In this book, a group of academic mostly based at the Department of Science and Technology Studies, University of Malaya, look at various aspects of Science and Technology Studies, largely with reference to the Malaysian context although not exclusively so.   The book is in honour of Royal Ungku Aziz, the former vice-Chancellor of the University of Malaya, who was responsible for the establishment of the History and Philosophy of Science programme at the University of Malaya way back to 1975. The issues examines are those concerning the relationship between science and religion, science and ethics, science and culture, the politics and economics of science and technology, the history and philosophy of science, and the question of science, technology and values.   The collection of essays are interdisciplinary in nature, timely, and serve as a valuable contribution to an understanding of some of the major issues concerning science and technology in the Malaysian context. Policy analysts, educationists, scholars on science and technology studies, and those interested in issues concerning science and technology in Malaysia would do themselves a favour by having a copy of this book on their bookshelves.
