A brief history of science :
by Crump, Thomas.
Publication:
Hyderabad :
University Press,
2001
. xxi, 425 p. :
, Potential readers should follow the author's lead and ignore the subtitle of this survey of the history of science in Europe and America, or they may be disappointed. Amsterdam-based writer Crump (Solar Eclipse; The Anthropology of Numbers) does discuss the evolution of scientific equipment, but the book is centered around the scientists, not their instruments. Crump begins with mankind's discovery of how to create fire and ends with SQUIDs, superconducting quantum interference devices. In between, there is chemistry, astronomy and 20th-century physics. The sections on advances in electricity and energy measurement make for particularly fascinating reading. Overall, however, Crump's book would have been more successful if he had followed the lead of his subtitle. He attempts to cover too much, and inevitably there are striking gaps and imbalances that leave the final product feeling scattered.

Science and society in India, 1750-2000 /
Publication:
New Delhi :
Manohar Publishers & Distributors,
2010
. 387 p. ;
, Approaches to the study of history of science underwent critical changes in the last two centuries before they could more definitively tilt towards the social dimensions of the making of science. The development of history of science during the last fifty years has been marked by a proliferation of methods and perspectives rather than by the emergence of a consensus. Given this general background of the intellectual tradition of writing history of science, an effort is made here to assemble a group of scholars from different parts of India to write about 250 years of development of 'science' in the Indian context, covering late pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial periods.
