PALGRAVE STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

This series presents original, high-quality, and accessible works at the cutting edge of scholarship within the history of science and technology. Books in the series aim to disseminate new knowledge and new perspectives about the history of science and technology, enhance and extend education, foster public understanding, and enrich cultural life. Collectively, these books will break down conventional lines of demarcation by incorporating historical perspectives into issues of current and ongoing concern, offering international and global perspectives on a variety of issues, and bridging the gap between historians and practicing scientists. In this way they not only advance scholarly conversation within and across traditional disciplines but also help define new areas of intellectual endeavor.
