  • James Chadwick and the atomic bomb

    Open AccessMargaret Gowing, Margaret Mary Gowing et al.ARTICLENotes and Records the Royal…1993

    One of the pleasures of the centenary in 1991 of James Chadwick’s birth was the growing interest in him, not only among the people who knew him but also among younger scientists and scholars in the history of 20th-century science; several are planning books and articles. This shows good discrimination within the history of science profession. Of course Chadwick’s name is known to the world of science as that of a marvellous physicist, in particul…

    In the early 1960s several people began to worry about the records of contemporary scientists and engineers; ‘contemporary’ for this purpose is defined as those who died after 1945. It was clear that this generation of scientists and engineers had changed history in all kinds of ways and yet no systematic efforts were being made to preserve their papers. The papers even of minor politicians poets and novelists were by contrast eagerly sought. I r…

  • Science, technology and education

    Open AccessMargaret Gowing, R V Jones et al.ARTICLENotes and Records the Royal…1977

    My lecture is about the diffusion of science and technology, through education, into the culture and economy of a society.

Here historians of science find common territory with economic and social historians, political historians, historians of education and…
