In this highly original comparative study, Peterson digs deeply to discover and explain the restrictions and the benefits that psychology gets from its natural science aspirations. He offers a much-needed corrective to notions of progress and underdevelopment in science. -- Karin Knorr Cetina, author of <i>Epistemic Cultures: How the Sciences Make Knowledge</i> An arresting ethnography of several laboratories, The Unbuilt Bench reveals the struggles of knowledge production and identifies an underappreciated feature that psychological science might embrace to accelerate progress. “Bench building,” Peterson shows, is fundamental for increasing the capacity to accumulate insight. -- Brian Nosek, cofounder of the Center for Open Science
