J. D. Bernal's monumental work Science in History is the first
full-scale attempt to analyze the relationship between science and
society throughout history, from the perfection of the first flint
hand ax to the construction of the hydrogen bomb. This remarkable
study illustrates the impetus given to and the limitations placed
upon discovery and invention by pastoral, agricultural, feudal,
capitalist, and socialist systems, and conversely the ways in which
science has altered economic, social, and political beliefs and
practices.Volume 3 is devoted entirely to the twentieth century and
the remarkable growth of scientific thought which has occurred in
modern times -- from the new sciences of nuclear physics and
electronics to discoveries and advances in biology and related
fields.
