Contributors argue that experts were highly aware of their audiences and used performance to gain both scientific and popular support.

Reviews

"There is a great deal of useful information to be found in this volume, and I hope that it will find its way to scholars who can make good use of it."

- William Thomas, The British Journal for the History of Science

"...the volume offers a valuable and varied picture of what expertise has looked like in modern Europe. (...) This volume represents an important development in the history of expertise as we move from studies promoting the topic's importance to a bigger picture based on constructivist analyses of expertise in different regions, periods and political systems."

- Don Leggett, Department of History, Philosophy and Religious Studies, Nazarbayev University, Astana, Kazakhstan in Annals of Science, 2016

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
