Science became the cornerstone of the intelligentsia's ideological and political projects, either as an alternative to socialism, or more often as its nominal raison d'etre. The Russian century may in fact be over, but the interrelation of the intelligentsia and science to form \"intelligentsia science\" proves enduring.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49586998313233,"sku":"GOR009882828","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49626055934225,"sku":"GOR012939102","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52734616404241,"sku":"NIN9780226304571","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0226304574.jpg?v=1751005245"},{"product_id":"osiris-volume-31-book-otniel-e-dror-9780226392042","title":"Osiris, Volume 31","description":"What new insights become available for historians when emotions are included as an analytical category? This volume of Osiris explores the historical interrelationships between science and its cultures and cultures of emotions. It argues that a dialogue between the history of emotions and the history of science leads to a rethinking of our categories of analysis, our subjects, and our periodizations. The ten case studies in the volume explore these possibilities and interrelationships across North America and Europe, between the twelfth and the twentieth centuries, in a variety of scientific disciplines. They analyze how scientific communities approached and explained the functions of emotions; how the concomitant positioning of emotions in or between body-mind-intersubjectivity took place; how emotions infused practices and how practices generated emotions; and, ultimately, how new and emerging identities of and criteria for emotions created new knowledge, new technologies, and new subjectivities.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49800408629521,"sku":"CIN022639204XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/022639204X.jpg?v=1750694026"},{"product_id":"osiris-volume-28-book-alexandra-hui-9780226053752","title":"Osiris, Volume 28","description":"The understanding of sound underwent profound changes with the advent of laboratory science in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The protagonists of these two enterprises have a lot in common. Both SF and the history of science are oriented towards the (re)construction of unfamiliar worlds; both are fascinated by the ways in which natural and social systems interact; both are critically aware of the different ways in which the social (class, gender, race, sex, species) has inflected the experience of the scientific. Taking a global approach, Presenting Futures Past examines the ways in which SF can be used to investigate the cultural status and authority afforded to science at different times and in different places. The essays consider the role played by SF in the history of specific scientific disciplines, topics, or cultures, as well as the ways in which it has helped to move scientific concepts, methodologies, and practices between wider cultural areas. Ultimately, Presenting Futures Past explores what SF can tell us about the histories of the future, how different communities have envisaged their futures, and how SF conveys the socioscientific claims of past presents.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50345981935889,"sku":"CIN022668041XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/022668041X.jpg?v=1750909163"},{"product_id":"osiris-volume-32-book-aronova-elena-9780226538778","title":"Osiris, Volume 32","description":"The history of data brings together topics and themes from a variety of perspectives in history of science: histories of the material culture of information and of computing, the history of politics on individual and global scales, gender and women's history, as well as the histories of many individual disciplines, to name just a few of the areas covered by essays in this volume.

The alchemist, once marginalized as a quack, now joins the apothecary, miner, humanist, and natural historian as a practitioner of chymistry. In a similar vein, the Chemical Revolution of the eighteenth century, with its focus on phlogiston and airs, has been expanded to include artisanal, medical, and industrial practices. This collection of essays builds on these reappraisals and excavates the affinities between alchemy, chymistry, and chemistry from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. It reveals a rich world of theory and practice in which instruments, institutions, inscriptions and ideas were used to make material knowledge. More generally, the volume will catalyze wide-ranging discussions of material and visual cultures, the role of expertise, and the religious and practical contexts of scientific inquiry.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346817683729,"sku":"CIN022615839XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/022615839X.jpg?v=1751164153"},{"product_id":"osiris-volume-25-book-eric-h-ash-9780226029399","title":"Osiris, Volume 25","description":"Focusing specifically on the role expertise has played in the support, legitimation, and growth of the state since early modern times, this work reveals how scientific expertise and practical knowledge were crucial to the construction of early modern empires and economies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53683456114961,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53683456377105,"sku":"CIN0226029395G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780226029399.jpg?v=1781733630"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/osiris-osr-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
