Science, Technology and Canadian History: Les Sciences, la technologie et l’histoire et l’histoire
The first Conference on the Study of the History of Canadian Science and Technology, held in Kingston, Ontario in November 1978, marks the emergence of a new Canadian discipline. This wide-ranging, bilingual collection of papers and workshops includes contributions by some of the historians, scientists, educators, students, archivists, and government representatives present at the conference. The papers discuss the nature of the new field, its ob…
A Creation of His Own: Tappan's Detroit Observatory (review)
Patricia Whitesell's history of the Detroit Observatory (named for the city of its financial benefactors, not its location) of the University of Michigan [End Page 376] is a niche publication. Unfortunately, it is difficult to say just what the niche is. There is no question as to the observatory's importance. It was, after the Cincinnati Observatory, the earliest midwestern astronomical institution. And it was arguably much more important, at le…

Introduction: Building Canadian Science
Why was the National Research Council of Canada conceived? In one sense, it was meant to be similar to its prototype in Britain, which evolved into the Department for Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) and its sibling in Australia, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), all founded during World War I, ostensibly to aid the war effort. Yet, it was perceived by many as a means to improve Canada's capability in industrial …

TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 353 beamte or factory inspectors of the Departments of Trade) and industrial self-government (Berufsgenossenschaften or trade corpora tions of the Workmen’s Compensation Act [1884], and steam-boiler inspection associations in charge of safe construction).

Shaping Science and Industry: A History of Australia's Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, 1926-49
Shaping Science and Industry touches on Australia's intellectual, political and economic life. It provides an account of the rapid growth of CSIR (to become CSIRO) during World War II. The contributions of many outstanding personalities are described such as Sir George Julius, Sir Charles Martin, Hedley Marston, DF Martyn, AEV Richardson, Sir David Rivett, Ian Clunies Ross and FWG White.This book recounts the major effort to introduce and adapt n…

The Department of Science and Art and control of Irish science, 1853–1905
This study deals with one facet of British rule in Ireland: the careful, systematic and almost wholly bureaucratic takeover of key Irish scientific institutions by the Department of Science and Art in South Kensington. The department is now largely forgotten except by educational and institutional historians; and histories of Irish scientific organisations, whilst they may allude to skirmishes with the department, have rarely attempted to come to…
