With over forty chapters, written by leading scholars, this comprehensive volume represents the best work in America, Europe and Asia. Geographical diversity of the authors is reflected in the different perspectives devoted to the subject, and all major disciplinary developments are covered. There are also sections concerning the countries that have made the most significant contributions, the relationship between science and industry, the importance of instrumentation, and the cultural influence of scientific modes of thought. Students and professionals will come to appreciate how, and why, science has developed - as with any other human activity, it is subject to the dynamics of society and politics.

Les sciences ont toujours intéressé les pouvoirs, qu'ils soient économiques ou politiques, et leurs développements ont toujours été marqués par eux. Inversement les sciences ont souvent offert des outils neufs permettant aux puissants de transformer radicalement la nature et les sociétés. Dans ce livre, cette thèse est étayée par une relecture des régimes de production des savoirs qui ont marqué l'Occident, et de leurs effets sur nos rapports au monde et à la nature.
