“In this well-documented book, Gardner surveys and assimilates a wide array of theoretical insights that examine this pioneering team in practice. … Gardner’s insightful history of DBS, and the crucial role played by clinical assessment tools in the innovation and governance of medical practices, make his monograph highly instructive. … Gardner articulates a pragmatic assessment that is based on an observation of actual medical practices. Hence, his book remains an important and unique contribution.” (Marilena Pateraki, New Genetics and Society, March, 2018)
