摘要

People in our profession frequently need to explain why we think historians have something to say about science. In this rich collection of oral histories, historian XiongWeimin seeks to demonstrate the converse: that scientists have important things to say about history. Every scholar interested in Mao-era science will want a copy of this book; it would also be very suitable in the (Sinophone) classroom and has already received a very positive reception among more general audiences in the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
