Highlights
Science in the Twentieth Century and Beyond
by John Agar
"A synthetic history of a subject as big, broad and diverse as twentieth-century science is a major achievement. But Agar has given us something more than that: his book is an innovative model of how one might think about scientific practices at temporal and institutional scales much larger than those to which modern historical writing has become accustomed."
Steven Shapin, author of The Scientific Life: A Moral History of a Late Modern Vocation
Climate Wars
What People will be Killed for in the 21st Century
by Harald Welzer
"Welzer combines analytical insight with passionate conviction in calling on all of us to help stem the violence that flows from climate change."
Martin Albrow, University of Wales
"Rampant climate change will redraw the geopolitical map of the 21st century. This book asks the uncomfortable but important questions that we will face in the future."
Robert Falkner, London School of Economics and Political Science
