Editorial Reviews
Review
'I have spent two months dipping into this book to find out about a wide range of subjects ... I am happy to report that it let me down rarely: there was usually a helpful and adaquately reference passage to furnish at least the beginning of an answer to my questions ... I warmly recommend this pricey book as good value, even for cash-strapped libraries.' Graham Farmelo, The Times Higher Education Supplement
'... the Cambridge History will no doubt be an indispensable reference for researchers, educators, and general readers interested in the field.' Chemical Heritage

Book Description
This volume is a narrative and interpretive history of the physical and mathematical sciences from the early nineteenth century to the close of the twentieth century. Drawing upon the most recent methods and results in historical studies of science, the authors of over thirty chapters employ strategies from intellectual history, social history, and cultural studies to provide unusually wide-ranging and comprehensive insights into developments in the public culture, disciplinary organization, and cognitive content of the physical and mathematical sciences.
