Whether conceived of as "research groups", "knowledge factories" or
"invisible colleges", the research schools examined in this volume
are observed in the historical and cultural contexts of their
disciplines, their institutional settings, their national
traditions and scientific styles. Given its broad overview, the
volume raises questions about how research skills are learned, how
scientists reach consensus, and the roles originality, competition
and leadership play in scientific research. Contributors include:
John W. Servos on research schools and their histories; Kathryn M.
Olesko on tacit knowledge and school formation; Alan J. Rocke on
Kolbe's Marburg and Leipzig institutes; R. Steven Turner on vision
studies conducted by Helmholtz and Hering; Maryjo Nye on the
national styles of French and English chemistry; Jack Morrell on W.
H. Perkin Jr; Pamela M. Henson on the Comstock school in
evolutionary entomology; Joel B. Hagen on the internal dynamics of
the Clementsian ecologists; Jose M. Sanchez-Ron on Spain's first
school of physics; and David S. Kushner on Sir George Darwin and
British geophysics.
