A generation has passed since the appearance of Oliver MacDonagh's article 'The Nineteenth-century Revolution in Government: A Reappraisal' (Historical Journal, 1958), which gave enormous impetus to the study of the 'silent revolution' that had overtaken Whitehall and Westminster between 1830 and 1914. Following MacDonagh, scholars have turned with fresh eyes to old sources - departmental archives, bill payers and private memoirs - to explore the ways and means by which the changes he described had occurred. This book offers selected perspectives on an important facet of new research into the administrative revolution: the idea of 'expertise', the role of 'experts' and of administrators and professionals in creating the technique of Victorian government. It also pays tribute to MacDonagh's seminal insight, in offering an indication of work in progress along a research front which now incorporates disciplines beyond administrative history in an international setting.

The Library of Alexandria was one of the greatest cultural adornments of the late ancient world, containing thousands of scrolls of Greek, Hebrew and Mesopotamian literature and art and artefacts of ancient Egypt. This book demonstrates that Alexandria became - through the contemporary reputation of its library - a point of confluence for Greek, Roman, Jewish and Syrian culture that drew scholars and statesmen from throughout the ancient world. It also explores the histories of Alexander the Great and of Alexandria itself, the greatest city of the ancient world. This new paperback edition offers general readers an accessible introduction to the history of this magnificent yet still mysterious institution from the time of its foundation up to its tragic destruction.

Perspectives on Western Medicine and the Experience of European Expansion

Originally published in 1988, the essays in this book focus primarily on colonial medicine in the British Empire but comparative material on the experience of France and Germany is also included. The authors show how medicine served as an instrument of empire, as well as constituting an imperializing cultural force in itself, reflecting in different contexts, the objectives of European expansion – whether to conquer, to occupy or to settle. With chapters from a distinguished array of social and medical historians, colonial medicine is examined in its topical, regional and professional diversity. Ranging from tropical to temperate regions, from 18th Century colonial America to 20th Century South Africa, this book is an important contribution to our understanding of the influence of European medicine on imperial history.

Comparative Perspectives on the Chemical Industry at War, 1914-1924

It has been said that history is a debate between the present and the past about the future. Nowhere are these lines drawn more significantly than in the study of science and war. And nowhere is the discourse more relevant, than in the study of science and technology as foundations and multipliers of military power. This book is concerned with one particularly seminal aspect of this development — the history of chemical munitions during and immediately after the First World War. The Great War, as it came to be known, was not the first industrial war, but it was the first to involve all the major industrial nations of the world. Within four years, the world witnessed unprecedented feats of industrial development, many of which drew upon and extended pre-war reservoirs of scientific and technological knowledge. The experience comes down to us as a conjuncture of scientific, economic, political and, ultimately, military departures, which by their nature involved new ways of meeting crises, and eventually new forms of critical thinking. That these new forms emerged only gradually and unexpectedly is not to underestimate their capacity to endure, or to minimize their relevance. From the Great War came patterns, assumptions, and practices which were to make an indelible mark on science and technology for the rest of the twentieth century and beyond.

Tillfälligt slut
Killed in action atGallipoli in the Dardanelles Campaign of 1915, aged just twenty-seven, Henry Gwyn JeffreysMoseley was widely regarded as the most promising British physicist of hisgeneration. His pioneering measurements of X-ray spectra provided a firm basis forthe concept of atomic numberand re-cast the periodic table of the elements into its modern form. Had he survived, he seemeddestined to win a Nobel Prize.This book is acommemoration of Moseley’s life, work, and legacy. Inspired by the exhibition ‘DearHarry… Henry Moseley: A Scientist Lost to War’, at the Museum of theHistory of Science, Oxford, in 2015-2016, and revisiting earlier accounts,thirteen historians and scientists chart his experience of Manchester andOxford; his military service; the reception of his work by the scientificcommunity; and the impact of his work upon X-ray spectroscopy in physics,chemistry, and materials science. For Science, King &Country speaks to those with an interest in history, science, and theFirst World War, and draws upona wealth of archives, artefacts, and recent research on the reward systems of science.Overall, it presents a comprehensive account of a young scientistwhose brief but mercurial careerpaved the way to a new understanding of nature, and to shaping the future of physicalscience.
