Beyond WeirdWhy Everything You Thought You Knew about Quantum Physics Is DifferentPhilip Ball

“Ball’s gorgeously lucid text takes us to the edge of contemporary theorizing about the founda-tions of quantum mechanics. Beyond Weird is easily the best book I’ve read on the subject.” —Washington Post “[A] clear and deeply researched account of what’s known about the quantum laws of nature, and how to think about what they might really mean.”—Nature2018 384 p. 51/2 x 81/2 14 halftones, 19 line drawings 1 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-55838-7 $26.00 COBE/EU Your Price: $20.80

Tunnel VisionsThe Rise and Fall of the Superconducting Super ColliderMichael Riordan, Lillian Hoddeson, and Adrienne W. Kolb

“Here two historians and an archivist describe the greatest particle physics experiment that never was. The Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) . . . would have crashed protons together at higher energies than any accelerator before or since. . . But in 1993 Congress pulled the plug on the more than $10-billion project. . . . Tunnel Visions examines what went wrong and what lessons the failure of the SSC can impart in an era when such Big Science projects are increasingly central to scientific research.”—Scientific American2015 480 p. 6 x 9 47 halftones 3 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-59890-1 $32.00 Your Price: $25.60

HelmholtzA Life in ScienceDavid Cahan

“David Cahan has written a masterful biography whose implicit argument is to present Hermann von Helmholtz as a grand unifier. He does this by following the thread of culture that bound to-gether the life, work, and context of his subject. . . . By bringing so many disparate sources and topics into coherence, Helmholtz mirrors the very figure it portrays.”—Gabriel Finkelstein, University of Colorado Denver2018 944 p. 7 x 10 40 halftones 4 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-48114-2 $55.00 Your Price: $44.00

Aesthetics, Industry, and ScienceHermann von Helmholtz and the Berlin Physical SocietyM. Norton Wise

“Aesthetics, Industry, and Science is a brilliant, multi-faceted reframing of the emergence of modern Germany as a scientific, industrial, and military power. In what amounts to a historical ethnography of mid-19th century Berlin, Wise deftly decodes paintings, architectural forms, physics diagrams, and scientific instruments to reveal the dense connections among classicists, painters, physicists, philosophers, and engineers and their shared sense of the city’s future.” —John Tresch, Warburg Institute, University of London2018 432 p. 6 x 9 31 color plates, 73 halftones, 6 tables 7 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-53135-9 $45.00 Your Price: $36.00

Alchemy and Authority in the Holy Roman EmpireTara Nummedal

“This is a terrific study, accessible, based in concrete archival research, and well connected to contemporary discussions. It gives new direction to thinking about the role of alchemy in the social and cultural life of early modern Europe. By diffracting the light usually focused on prominent alchemical figures in the history of science and medicine, Nummedal adds a much needed cultural dimension to the understanding of how alchemical identities were shaped in early modern Europe and to how they in turn influ-enced the social and intellectual world around them.”—Bulletin of the History of Medicine2007 280 p. 6 x 9 13 halftones 12 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-63972-7 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

The Young DescartesNobility, Rumor, and WarHarold J. Cook

“As a skilled historian, Cook brings a good deal of archival and other material to bear on the matter. The cast of characters in his chronologi-cally limited and relatively short narrative is impressive. Right or wrong, if Harold Cook’s reading succeeds in drawing our attention beyond the theses and arguments of Descartes’s treatises to their historical contexts and his personal engagements, then it will force us to reconsider once again just who this great thinker really was.”—Times Literary Supplement2018 288 p. 6 x 9 14 halftones, 2 line drawings 17 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-46296-7 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

Burned AliveBruno, Galileo and the InquisitionAlberto A. Martinez

In Burned Alive, Alberto A. Martínez draws on new evidence to claim that the philosopher and cosmologist Giordano Bruno’s cosmologi-cal beliefs—that the stars are suns surrounded by planetary worlds like our own, and that the Earth moves because it has a soul—were indeed the primary factor in his condemnation. Chal-lenging the accepted history of astronomy to reveal Bruno as a true innovator whose contribu-tions to the science predate those of Galileo, this books shows that is was cosmology, not theology, that led Bruno to his death.Distributed for Reaktion Books2018 304 p. 61/4 x 91/4 21 halftones 18 Cloth ISBN: 978-1-78023-896-8 $40.00 NSA Your Price: $32.00

The X ClubPower and Authority in Victorian ScienceRuth Barton

“For decades in the late 1800s, nine scientific lu-minaries (among them biologist Thomas Henry Huxley and botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker) dined together as members of the ‘X Club.’ This socio-economically diverse group, formed in part to promote Charles Darwin’s achievements, is a telling case study in the dynamics of Victo-rian class and science. Historian Ruth Barton’s magisterial chronicle traces the careers of the “X-men” and their agile promotion of science; Huxley, in particular, emerges vividly as wily, belligerent, and obstructive to women entering science.”—Nature2018 576 p. 6 x 9 33 halftones, 3 tables 23 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-55161-6 $55.00 Your Price: $44.00

Climate in MotionScience, Empire, and the Problem of ScaleDeborah R. Coen

“Climate in Motion reveals how the conceptual underpinning of our modern climate science—the zooming in and out of scale from detail to grand pattern—emerged from a surprising and seemingly dusty source: the perceptions and politics of the scientists of Austria-Hungary. Dazzling yet down-to-earth, the writing sparkles with precise insight. Every historian of science and environmental historian should read this book.”—Conevery Bolton Valencius, Boston College2018 464 p. 6 x 9 5 color plates, 45 halftones 26 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-39882-2 $40.00 Your Price: $32.00

Bloomsbury ScientistsScience and Art in the Wake of DarwinMichael Boulter

This book tells the story of the network of scientists living amid the writers and artists in that single square mile of London immediately before and after World War I. Michael Boulter weaves together Bloomsbury’s multidisciplinary narratives of genetics, ecology, postimpressionism, and literature, and draws intricate connections through the friendships, grievances, quarrels, and affections of the movement’s key players.

Germany’s Ancient PastsArchaeology and Historical Interpretation since 1700Brent Maner

“This is a very fine book, based on rich and deep research. Germany’s Ancient Pasts provides a use-ful synthesis and overview of the development of what Maner calls ‘domestic’ archaeology, a field that embraces prehistory (Vorgeschichte), proto-history (Frühgeschichte), and also geology, ethnography, folklore studies, and physical an-thropology. . . . Maner’s book tells an important and nuanced story about why it is that Germans, like other Europeans, became so involved in the excavation, collection, and exhibition of artifacts in the years after Napoleon’s demise.” —Suzanne L.

Culture and the Course of Human EvolutionGary Tomlinson

Tomlinson places front and center the emergence of culture and the human capacities to create it, in a fashion that expands the conceptual framework of recent evolutionary theory. His wide-ranging vision encompasses arguments on the development of music, modern technology, and metaphysics. At the heart of these develop-ments, he shows, are transformations in our spe-cies’ particular knack for sign-making.

“Nasser Zakariya has written an insightful, erudite, historical account of generalist schol-ars—the lumpers—who have tried mainly over the past century to unify science amidst the majority of specialist researchers—the splitters. Of course, both lumpers and splitters are needed to gain ever-better approximations of reality, and Zakariya does a credible job relating the progress of the natural-science synthesizers. Highly rec-ommended to anyone seriously interested in the broadest view of the biggest picture.” —Eric J.

“The Invention of Madness offers refreshing new perspectives on a topic that has been surprisingly understudied—the diverging ways in which mental illness was understood, managed, and experienced in China in the first half of the twentieth century. . . . [T]his excellent book is anchored by a deep and comprehensive bibliog-raphy of scholarship on modern Chinese history, the history of Chinese medicine, and the com-parative history of psychology and psychiatry.” —Carol A.

The Human Body in the Age of CatastropheBrittleness, Integration, Science, and the Great WarStefanos Geroulanos and Todd Meyers

“A shared concept of human individuality lies at the heart of intellectual traditions as varied as psychoanalysis, cybernetics, and medical hu-manism: an individuality knowable only at the moment of its collapse. This is the remarkable argument of The Human Body in the Age of Catastrophe, a provocative and poignant book, and one that will be essential reading for historians of modern science and medicine.” —Deborah Coen, Yale University2018 416 p. 6 x 9 14 halftones 56 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-55659-8 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

The Forgotten SenseMeditations on TouchPablo Maurette

“This beautiful book discovers the haptic sense, pressing close and taking the shape of its object, woven into Western literature from its earliest days. Maurette deftly unfolds and refolds history so that his thrilling discoveries—from Epicurean atomism to a sixteenth century dialogue on kiss-ing to Marinetti’s ill-fated tactile manifesto— arrive to us as though nestled side by side.” —Laura U.

“[The author’s] sharply original history focuses on serum collected from indigenous commu-nities and frozen during the cold war. Some samples have had a starry afterlife: one from the Belgian Congo, taken in 1959, later became the oldest trace of HIV/AIDS on record.

Tangled DiagnosesPrenatal Testing, Women, and RiskIlana Löwy

Tangled Diagnoses examines the multiple conse-quences of the widespread diffusion of prenatal testing, which, Ilana Löwy argues, has become mainly a risk-management technology—the goal of which is to prevent inborn impairments, ideally through the development of efficient therapies but in practice mainly through the prevention of the birth of children with such impairments. This book will be of interest to anyone concerned with the sociopolitical condi-tions of biomedical innovation, the politics of women’s bodies, disability, and the ethics of modern medicine.2018 352 p. 6 x 9 16 halftones 62 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-53409-1 $37.50 Your Price: $30.00

Critical Terms for Animal StudiesEdited by Lori Gruen

“This book’s standout feature is its analysis of animal studies terms across a wide array of disci-plines and theoretical perspectives, ranging from anthropology and activism to biology and law. Although animal studies has been interdisciplin-ary from its beginnings, this volume consider-ably expands and deepens that interdisciplin-ary vision. Lori Gruen is a highly-recognized and well-respected scholar in the field and has brought together a superb mix of authors who represent the very best of the established discourse and the most exciting members of the new generation.”—Matthew Calarco, California State University, Fullerton2018 448 p. 6 x 9 1 figure, 1 table 67 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-35542-9 $32.50 Your Price: $26.00

Looking beyond the familiar litany of causes—a large and growing human population, rising livestock numbers, expanding economies and international trade, and spreading infrastructures and incur-sions upon wildlands—she asks the key question: if we know human expansionism is to blame for this ecological crisis, why are we not taking the needed steps to halt our expansionism?2019 288 p. 6 x 9 3 halftones 68 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-59680-8 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

Greening the AllianceThe Diplomacy of NATO’s Science and Environmental InitiativesSimone Turchetti

Following the launch of Sputnik, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization became a promi-nent sponsor of scientific research in its member countries, a role it retained until the end of the Cold War. As NATO marks sixty years since the establishment of its Science Committee, the main organizational force promoting its science programs, Greening the Alliance is the first book to chart NATO’s scientific patronage—and the motivations behind it. Reflecting on this rich, complicated legacy in light of contemporary global challenges like climate change, Turchetti offers both an eye-opening history of interna-tional politics and environmental studies and a thoughtful assessment of NATO’s future.2018 256 p. 6 x 9 19 halftones 73 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-59579-5 $37.50 Your Price: $30.00

“Voeks provides a rich historical and contem-porary account of the narratives constructed around the West’s conflicted love-and-fear relationship with tropical forests and their in-habitants. This eloquent book presents the reader with a mirror that reveals the solipsistic face of the intellectual North, a face more than ready to for-get about, and trample on, the rights of those who inhabit tropical regions rich in plants but lacking access to mainstream economy. . . . It is a narra-tive that will draw the reader into a book that is scientifically compelling and successfully bridges the humanities and natural sciences.

“A revolutionary book. Bargheer uses a wonder-fully interesting and meticulously analyzed pair of cases to recover and elaborate a Deweyan theory of morality and play. The brilliant insight of his theory is matched by the beguiling charac-ter of his empirical evidence, both the historical data of the earlier period and the interview data that brings the analysis into the present.

Discerning Experts examines three sets of land-mark environmental assessments involving acid rain, ozone depletion, and sea level rise, explor-ing how experts judge scientific evidence and determine what the scientific facts are. The three case studies also explore how scientists come to agreement on contested issues, why consen-sus is considered important, and what factors contribute to confusion, bias, and error, and how scientists understand and navigate the boundar-ies between science and policy. The authors also suggest strategies for improving the assessment process.2019 304 p. 6 x 9 1 halftone, 8 line drawings, 11 tables 75 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-60201-1 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

Care and CureAn Introduction to Philosophy of MedicineJacob Stegenga

“This is an exceptionally clear, accessible, and or-ganized introduction to key concepts and central debates in the philosophy of medicine. There is as yet no single author, comprehensive introduc-tion to this new field. Stegenga’s excellent book fills this lacuna.”—Anya Plutynski, Washington University in St. Louis “As an introductory text in the philosophy of medicine, Care and Cure offers a comprehensive overview of the field which is accessible to beginners in philosophy. . . . Well-written and well-structured, Stegenga’s book is a very welcome addition to the philosophy of medicine litera-ture.”—Hane Maung, University of Manchester2018 288 p. 6 x 9 2 tables 104 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-59503-0 $25.00 Your Price: $20.00

New Edition

Nonsense on StiltsMassimo Pigliucci

“Pigliucci’s book serves a seriously worthwhile purpose: that of giving you, the reader, tools and instructions for assembling your very own ‘baloney-detector.’ Armed with this, you stand a vastly improved chance of separating the wheat of reliable knowledge from the chaff of fashion-able nonsense in your daily harvest of data.” —Times Higher Education, on the first edition2018 336 p. 6 x 9 105 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-49599-6 $22.50 Your Price: $18.00

18 Philosophy of Science & Medicine

The Aesthetics of Meaning and ThoughtThe Bodily Roots of Philosophy, Science, Morality, and ArtMark Johnson

Explores the aesthetic dimensions of our capacity for meaning, understanding, and reasoning. John-son argues against the marginalization of the body and aesthetics alike in the Western philosophical tradition by situating both at the very heart of meaningful experience writ large. He shows how the body, with its sensations and feelings, lies at the heart of even the most abstract and complex intellectual and artistic achievements.2018 304 p. 6 x 9 107 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-53894-5 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00

The Wandering MindWhat the Brain Does When You’re Not LookingMichael C. Corballis

“We spend at least half of our lives off-task, our minds wandering into distant, imaginary worlds. We’re taught from a young age that this is a bad habit. But Corballis argues that mind wandering isn’t just important for creativity—it’s an essen-tial part of what makes humans unique.”—Focus2015 184 p. 6 x 9 1 halftone 108 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-41891-9 $16.00 NZ Your Price: $12.80

The Truth about LanguageWhat It Is and Where It Came FromMichael C. Corballis

“Using a wealth of well-researched anecdotes about Neanderthals, cave paintings, gesturing apes, and well-trained border collies (to name a few), Corballis exemplifies moments of the human and animal minds fine-tuning their abilities to communicate.”—Kirkus Reviews2017 288 p. 6 x 9 10 halftones 109 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-28719-5 $30.00 NZ Your Price: $24.00

Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions at FiftyReflections on a Science ClassicEdited by Robert J. Richards and Lorraine Daston

“Few books leave a wake like physicist-turned-historian Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. These essays on that classic, edited by science historians Richards and Daston, emanate from a 2012 commemorative conference. It’s a scholarly treat, from George Reisch probing the cold-war roots of Kuhn’s provocations on dogma, to David Kaiser tracing the experimental psychology in his philosophical claims.”—Nature2016 208 p. 6 x 9 20 halftones, 2 line drawings 110 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-31720-5 $25.00 Your Price: $20.00

The Ashtray(Or the Man Who Denied Reality)Errol Morris

“The documentarian Errol Morris gives us The Ashtray, a semi-autobiographical tale of the supremely influential The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn. A spellbinding intellectual adventure into the limits, fragility, and infirmity of human reason. Morris’s tale is picaresque. Anecdotes, cameos, interviews, his-torical digressions, sly side notes, and striking il-lustrations hang off a central spine that recounts critical episodes in the history of analytic phi-losophy.”—Boston Review2018 192 p. 8 x 10 49 color plates, 39 halftones 111 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-92268-3 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00
