Science periodicals in the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries
From around 100 titles worldwide at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the number of science periodicals grew to an estimated 10 000 by the end, facilitating in the process an exponential growth in popular and professional forms of science. Nowadays, scientists might take it for granted that publication in a scientific journal is the recognized way to communicate results, but it was only in the early nineteenth century that this practice st…
Plasmids, patents and the historian
Intellectual property, plant breeding and the making of Mendelian genetics
Experiments in empire-building
The first British geneticists framed the productive value of their work against national, international, and colonial contexts. They drew on traditional links between nation, wheat, and civilisation, promising rural stability and national security if only they could command the resources required to create new, agriculturally useful, varieties. Framing their new science in this manner allowed them to make claims on the public purse far beyond tho…
Seeds Without Patents
Les domaines de l’innovation dans lesquels les brevets ne pouvaient pas être utilisés ou ne l’étaient pas constituent un défi pour les historiens. D’une part, le cas de l’innovation sans brevet semble montrer que, contrairement aux conceptions traditionnelles, obtenir des brevets n’est pas la seule motivation pour ceux qui innovent. D’autre part, divers exemples révèlent une diversité de stratégies alternatives par lesquelles les inventeurs ont c…

Pp. xv+493. $35. Noel Kingsbury’s Hybrid is a rarity on two counts. First, it is a big-picture history, exploring plant improvement from the birth of agriculture up to (but not including) the most recent controversies over genetically modified (GM) fo…
