About the book:
The history of the sciences and the history of the book are complementary, and there
has been much recent innovative research in the intersection of these lively fields.
This accessibly-written, well-illustrated volume is the first systematic general work
to do justice to the fruits of recent scholarship. The twenty specially-commissioned
chapters, by an international cast of distinguished scholars, cover the period from
the Carolingian renaissance of learning to the mid nineteenth-century consolidation
of science. They examine all aspects of the authorship, production, distribution,
and reception of manuscripts, books and journals in the various sciences. An editorial
introduction surveys the many profitable interactions of the history of the sciences
with the history of books. Two afterwords highlight the relevances of this wide-ranging
survey to the study of the development of scientific disciplines and to the current
predicaments of scientific communication in the electronic age.
This is the first comprehensive collection of historical essays on the subject in
the rapidly-expanding field of science in relation to the book. All the essays are
very readable and are nearly all attractively illustrated with a range of unusual
subjects. Offers a useful introduction to an important interdisciplinary field of
