The Victorian Palace of Science: Scientific Knowledge and the Building of the Houses of Parliament, by Edward J. Gillin
‘What constituted scientific knowledge was not just a question of what was “true” and who was “right”, but rather, what was credible and who could be trusted’ (p. 2). The core premise of Edward Gillin’s detailed study of the building of the Houses of Parliament demonstrates the centrality of science to both its design and construction, and unravels the manner in which the emergent findings of different scientific disciplines came to inform those …

Cultural constraints on the delivery of HIV/Aids prevention in Ireland
Preventative action and the diffusion of HIV/Aids
The isolation of HIV (Barre-Sinoussi et al., 1983; Gallo et al., 1984) confirmed the urgent need for interventions to curtail its transmission and, therefore, the incidence of AIDS. In the absence of an effective vaccine (Gallo, 1987; Cease and Berzofsky, 1988), direct action to prevent HIV infection has either entailed implementing medical interventions linked to
