Popularizing Science and Technology in the European Periphery, 1800-2000 (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Nieto-Galan, Agustí

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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.
