From a blog:
The Strong Programme is a methodology, a scientific process, that seeks to address the question of how sociology of knowledge can be demonstrated scientifically, and subsequently, reveal how all sciences are as dependent on social factors as they are on observable physical subjects and necessary logical abstractions.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0226060977, Paperback)

The first edition of this book profoundly challenged and divided students of philosophy, sociology, and the history of science when it was published in 1976. In this second edition, Bloor responds in a substantial new Afterword to the heated debates engendered by his book.
