Description

Product Description This Encyclopedia examines all aspects of the history of science in the United States, with a special emphasis placed on the historiography of science in America. It can be used by students, general readers, scientists, or anyone interested in the facts relating to the development of science in the United States. Special emphasis is placed in the history of medicine and technology and on the relationship between science and technology and science and medicine. Review "No other encyclopedia works with this focus are available, recommending this for academic libraries and large reference collections in public libraries." -- Library Journal From the Back Cover "Science is an essential element of American civilization. The historical study of American science -- the study of the individuals, the institutions, the ideas, and the experiments that together constitute the rich fabric of science in the United States -- is a lively and exciting field of scholarship. However, the knowledge and interpretations generated by this scholarship have not been easily accessible to the high school or college student or to the interested general reader. This volume has been written to furnish that access". -- Marc Rothenberg (from the Introduction) The History of Science in the United States: An Encyclopedia brings together more than 200 scholars, ranging from the leading experts in their fields to young scholars presenting the fruits of their research. It offers a vast body of information hitherto scattered in numerous journals and specialized monographs. The book's coverage includes the roles of institutions and disciplines, the history of medicine and technology, the relationship between science and technology, and the major figures in the history of science in the United States. About the Author Marc Rothenberg received his Ph.D. from Bryn Mawr College's Program in the History and Philosophy of Science in 1974. He has been on the staff of the Joseph henry papers Project (Smithsonian Institution Press) since 1975 and was named Editor in 1985. He is the general editor of the Garland series of encyclopedias in the history of science. Rothenberg is the author of numerous books including the two-volume History of Science and Technology in the United States: A Critical and Selective Bibliography (Garland, 1993). He has also authored and co-authored numerous articles in scholarly journals.
