Description
From the late 1960s, Jack Morrell's articles have stimulated a reorientation of the historiography of science.
He showed by example, in the studies now gathered here, how the social, political, economic, and institutional aspects of science could be integrated with its content.
In his writings he assumed that science was a socially organised attempt to set and solve problems concerning the natural world, and that historians should take cognisance of everything which affected that activity - without down-grading published knowledge, its end-product.
Specific topics in this volume include the institutions of British science, especially universities, laboratories, and research schools, the careers of the scientists, and the impact of science in the north of England and, especially, in Scotland.
