- W598839156 abstract "Book description: Writing Recent Science offers a rare and engaging look at writing contemporary history, when historical records are more likely preserved on fragile computer hard-drives rather than in filing cabinets. Have historians failed to consider what oral and photographic evidence can reveal? Are historians fixated on East-West scientific transactions, ignoring the profound explosion of North-South relations? Are science journalists, seduced by Carl Sagan, ignoring the somber lessons of Thomas Kuhn?Writing Recent Science features original contributions by sixteen distinguished writers and historians who face these challenges. It includes a work of historical fiction and the fascinating story of how a review criticizing a contract history of English medicine was nearly barred from publication, a case that reverberated all the way to the British Cabinet Office. It raises important questions: how does secrecy affect modern science? How have politicians inappropriately used history to justify contemporary policy for victims of eugenics practice? Should biography now confront the ethical dimensions of scientists' lives?This book is a superb read for those fascinated by the role of science, medicine and technology in contemporary society." @default.
