This book examines the Bigfooting community sociologically. Using concepts from science and technology studies (STS) as well as cultural sociology, Lewis and Bartlett shed new light on what it is to do 'science', what it is to behave 'scientifically', and where the borders of legitimate scientific practice lie.
