Description

For the last half century, Mikulas Teich has made many eminent contributions to the histories of science, technology, medicine and society.

His essentially Marxist historiographical stance has resisted the notion that science is an autonomous entity, and has instead stressed the interplay of the economic, the social and the scientific forces in history.

At the same time, particularly in studies of biochemistry, he has emphasized the significance of the role of science and technology in modern economic change. In a career divided between Czechoslovakia and the UK, he has always been highly internationalist in his historical outlooks, combining what is valuable in Contentinal and British methods.

This volume is to honour him on his eightieth birthday.

Examining European developments since the sixteenth century, the essays, many by old friends and colleagues, cluster around themes close to his own personal scholarship and related to volumes which he has edited.

The book is divided into sections on Questions of History; Scientific Lives; Disciplines; Natural History, and Science and Disease.
