While scholars previously focused on the history of abstract scientific discoveries by key figures like Galileo and Newton, contemporary science historians are turning to focus on richer, more descriptive studies within specific and local contexts. A Companion to the History of Science captures this move away from abstract theories and into more intimate analysis of science in its cultural, political, and social contexts. It aims to survey recent developments that have resulted from the effort to re-envision the field. The volume includes forty original essays written by experts in the field, structured around four analytical categories: the roles, places and spaces, communication, and tools of science. Contributors cut across traditional chronological and geographical boundaries to provide thematic analysis of these topics, including discussion of both Western and non-Western themes throughout the volume. These critical essays synthesize the major debates and issues that dominate current scholarly discussion, and point the way for future inquiry"-- Provided by publisher. 410 0$aWiley Blackwell companions to world history. 410 0$aTHEi Wiley ebooks. 606 $6880-04/$1$aScience -- Historiography 615 0$aScience -- Historiography 676 $a507.2/2 686 $a402$2njb/09 686 $a507.2/2$2njb/09 801 1$bJP-MeL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136253103321 996 $aA companion to the history of science$92296813 997 $aUNINA
