Popularizing Science and Technology in the European Periphery, 1800-2000Faidra Papanelopoulou, Agustí Nieto-Galan, Enrique Perdiguero Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 2009 - 284 pages In peripheral European countries with a weak scientific culture, how was science and technology presented to the wider public? The essays in this volume consider this question and together provide a valuable insight into the circulation of scientific knowledge in countries that have never had a Newton, a Pasteur, or an Einstein. |
