Reviews
"This volume vigorously challenges the new social history of science, technology, and medicine. Through a remarkably cohesive series of case studies it demonstrates that underlying cultural notions in any given era shape, inform, and inspire that era's technical knowledge and discourse. The book will appeal to established scholars and their students alike. This is revisionist history in the best sense." --Howard P. Segal, University of Maine, "The editors have succeeded in producing a book that possesses both cohesiveness and coherence. The individual essays are illuminating and significant, interesting and provocative. . . . As a group they have an important message to convey that offers a counterweight to the current dominance of social history an alternate point of view that is much needed." --Gerald N. Grob, Institute for Health, Health Care Policy, and Aging Research
