'The amoebic beginning of a world mind??: Sharing Knowledge in a Post-war World. 330 $aThis book addresses the ways in which science and technology were employed in South Africa during the Second World War. A key theme underlying the chapters is the human mind: in Chapter One, which addresses the submission of ideas to the Union Defence Force, this is the inventive mind; in Chapter Seven with its focus on aviation medicine, there is the description of human will and agency, and their ultimate subordination to technology; and in Chapter Eight which considers psychiatry, it is the measurement of the mind that is addressed on the part of medical experts. The final chapter concludes with the concept of the ?world mind? and the use of science to create a new post-war world order. Each chapter employs a case study to highlight the ways in which science and technology were interwoven with society and identity?national, racial and gendered?in wartime South Africa. The overarching theme explored is the hierarchies of knowledge creation, whether in relation to South Africa as a dominion within the British Empire, as a member of the Allies, or as a nation rife with societal tension exacerbated by the war. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of Science and Technology,$x2730-9738 606 $aTechnology 606 $aHistory 606 $aMedicine$xHistory 606 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aHistory of Technology 606 $aHistory of Medicine 606 $aHistory of Sub-Saharan Africa 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aMilitary History 606 $aModern History 615 0$aTechnology. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory. 615 0$aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 14$aHistory of Technology. 615 24$aHistory of Medicine. 615 24$aHistory of Sub-Saharan Africa. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aMilitary History. 615 24$aModern History. 676 $a509.68 700 $aChetty$b Suryakanthie$01216698 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911046548203321 996 $aScience and Technology in South Africa, 1939-1946$94468803 997 $aUNINA
