This book analyses the emergence of a transformed Big Science in
Europe and the United States, using both historical and
sociological perspectives. It shows how technology-intensive
natural sciences grew to a prominent position in Western societies
during the post-World War II era, and how their development cohered
with both technological and social developments. At the helm of
post-war science are large-scale projects, primarily in physics,
which receive substantial funds from the public purse. Big Science
Transformed shows how these projects, popularly called 'Big
Science', have become symbols of progress. It analyses changes to
the political and sociological frameworks surrounding
publicly-funding science, and their impact on a number of new
accelerator and reactor-based facilities that have come to
prominence in materials science and the life sciences.
Interdisciplinary in scope, this book will be of great interest to
historians, sociologists and philosophers of science.
