The rise of the mass media and professional science makes the years
before the Great War an important formative period in the history
of popular science. Peter Broks explores the magazines of the time
and uncovers the scientist as hero and villain; science for and
against religion; animal biographies and a new empathy with nature;
technology as evolutionary progress; utopian visions and
degenerationst fears. Through this cultural analysis of popular
science he shows how Victorian hopes turned into Edwardian
disillusion.
