Reviews
"A fascinating and significant contribution to a more social, collective, and diversified history of scientific (and artistic) transformations." - Simon Werrett, Science "Smith argues her point effectively through images as well as text. Her choice of artisanal artifacts is more than illustration; it is essential to her assertion that intellectual history is more than just a tale of 'great thinkers.'" - Simon Ings, New Scientist"
