This collection of essays aims to further the understanding of
historical and contemporary geographies of science. It offers a
fresh perspective on comparative approaches to scientific knowledge
and practice as pursued by geographers, sociologists,
anthropologists, and historians of science. The authors explore the
formation and changing geographies of scientific centers from the
sixteenth to the twentieth centuries and critically discuss the
designing of knowledge spaces in early museums, in modern
laboratories, at world fairs, and in the periphery of contemporary
science. They also analyze the interactions between science and the
public in Victorian Britain, interwar Germany, and recent
environmental policy debates. The book provides a genuine
geographical perspective on the production and dissemination of
knowledge and will thus be an important point of reference for
those interested in the spatial relations of science and associated
fields.
The Klaus Tschira Foundation supports diverse symposia, the
