What does it mean to be an expert? In Rethinking Expertise , Harry Collins and Robert Evans offer a radical new perspective on the role of expertise in the practice of science and the public evaluation of technology. Collins and Evans present a Periodic Table of Expertises based on the idea of tacit knowledge--knowledge that we have but cannot explain.
