About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Mendelsohn’s work has been multifaceted. … He has made fascinating and path-breaking contributions in the fields of history of biology, genetics and the atomic scientists movement, to name a few. … The series of essays contained here mirrors this extraordinary achievement. Wide-ranging, analytically stimulating and reflective, they demonstrate Mendelsohn’s effect and legacy. … This volume, and Mendelsohn’s example more broadly, offer a future for the historian of science as a humanistic, socially responsible actor on the historical stage." (C. A. J. Chilvers, British Journal of History Science, 2005)
