Scientific Cultures, Technological Challenges: A Transatlantic Perspective

摘要

Scientific Cultures, Technological Challenges is a collection that emerged from the 2007 annual conference of the Bavarian American Academy (BAA). Located in Munich, the BAA seeks to promote Bavarian scholarship on the United States, particularly as it relates to science, culture, and economics. This collection's chapters are generally well-written and intriguing, though, as with many conference collections, they do not form a coherent whole. Individual chapters will emerge over time as being more significant than others, and most readers will find only certain chapters useful, depending on their scholarly concerns.
