La fascinante historia, alejada del parque infantil, de un artilugio empapado de magia, pasiones, leyendas, ritos, goce, erotismo, diversión o muerte.
El columpio ha acompañado a los seres humanos desde la Grecia clásica o la China preimperial. Sus usos han labrado un terreno fecundo entre el arte y la vida, entre el ritual y el conocimiento, entre la cultura y el juego.
This book offers a comprehensive study and account of the co-evolution of technological and scientific literature in the early modern period (1450-1750). It examines the various relationships of these literatures in six areas of knowledge - Architecture, Chemistry, Gunnery, Mechanical Engineering, Mining, and Practical Mathematics - which represent the main types of advanced technological and scientific knowledge of the era.

The diffusion of innovations from the Near East into the ‘static’ surrounding peripheries has become a well-known archaeological paradigm, often summed up as Ex Oriente Lux.

Kaum ein Bauwerk prägt unsere Umgebung wie die Autobahn. Ihre festen Fahrbahnen, weiten Linien und ihre kreuzungsfreie Netzgestalt bilden ein System, ohne das kein Supermarkt, kein Gewerbegebiet und keine Fußgängerzone funktionieren. Und obwohl die Nationalsozialisten die Autobahn bekanntermaßen nicht erfunden haben, so wurde das Fundament für den europäischen Hauptverkehrsweg doch von 1934 bis 1942 in die Landschaft betoniert.

The astronomer's chair is a leitmotif in the history of astronomy, appearing in hundreds of drawings, prints, and photographs from a variety of sources. Nineteenth-century stargazers in particular seemed eager to display their observing chairs—task-specific, often mechanically adjustable observatory furniture designed for use in conjunction with telescopes.

Annemarie Tröger, born in 1939, was one of the founders of women's studies in the German-speaking world in the 1970s. Her seminars, lectures, publications were groundbreaking for many of her colleagues and students.

A taboo-busting romp through the shame, stink and strange science of sweating. Sweating may be one of our weirdest biological functions, but it’s also one of our most vital and least understood. In The Joy of Sweat, Sarah Everts delves into its role in the body—and in human history.

Inspired by Francis Bacon’s ant, spider, and bee as models of collecting, processing, and transforming knowledge, Kimberly Coulter, Wilko Graf von Hardenberg, and Finn Arne Jørgensen started "Ant Spider Bee" to reflect on ways technology was transforming the epistemologies, methods, and dissemination of environmental humanities research.

Six essays on pre-modern translations across a variety of languages and disciplines, exploring both their technical commonalities and cultural specificities, while also addressing the reception of the ideas they transmit.

Gran Paradiso National Park is Italy’s oldest, and was instrumental in preventing the extinction of the Alpine ibex between World War I and just after World War II. Today, there are more than 30,000 ibex living in the Alps, all of which descended from that last colony protected in Gran Paradiso under Mussolini’s rule.

This special issue turns the tables. We ask how local definitions and practices of usefulness and reliability generated wealth and technological change.

The contributions featured in the theme issue “Sounds of Language—Languages of Sound” address the period between approximately 1890 and 1970—from the modern disciplinary formation of knowledge about sound and the rise of the social sciences and humanities to the beginnings of computerized sound research.

Tranimacies is a neologism that pushes and pulls together transness and animality so as to better germinate unruly, wily, perverse relationships between them, and their spawn. Through tranimacies the book aims at rethinking the linking of liberation struggles amongst former colonized peoples and lands, minoritized genders and sexualities, racially marked persons and non-human animals, and does so in a variety of geopolitical and temporal sites.

Leonardo da Vinci ist allgemein bekannt als großer Erfinder kreativer Maschinen, als Künstler der berühmten Zeichnung des Vitruvianischen Menschen. Doch Leonardo war auch ein wissbegieriger Leser: In seiner persönlichen Bibliothek standen fast 200 Bücher aus Wissenschaft und Technik, Literatur und Religion.

In diesem Buch geht es um das Experimentieren, das in den Wissenschaften seit der Frühen Neuzeit eine immer größere Rolle spielt. Umso erstaunlicher ist es, dass sich Philosophie und Geschichte der Wissenschaften mit der unglaublichen Vielgestaltigkeit des Experimentierens kaum auseinandergesetzt haben.

Contemporary scholarship concerning science diplomacy is increasingly taking a historical approach. Through cases discussed in the articles of the special issue we see that historically, in the Global South as well as the Global North, science diplomacy has often functioned to mediate the circulation of technoscientific knowledge and materials, and its historical study helps to better illuminate the resulting knowledge‐power nexus.

This volume in political epistemology offers a comprehensive discussion of the multiple applicability of Gramscian concepts and categories to the historical, sociological, and cultural analysis of science.
