"A History of Science in Society: A Reader," edited by Andrew
Ede and Lesley B. Cormack, is a collection of primary source
documents and an excellent companion to their text by the same
name. It includes scientific papers as well as more popular and
cultural expressions of scientific ideas from the likes of Margaret
Cavendish, Albert Einstein, and Rachel Carson. Readings from the
pre-Scientific Revolution, the Middle Ages, the Islamic world, and
women scientists are also well represented in this collection. Each
of the over 90 readings begins with a short description providing
historical context, but readers may also refer to the authors'
companion text. Illustrations and maps integral to the readings are
included, along with a Chronology of Readings and a Topical
Index.
