Book Description
Language is the most essential medium of scientific activity. Many historians, sociologists and science studies scholars have investigated scientific language for this reason, but only few have examined those cases where language itself has become an object of scientific discussion. Over the centuries scientists have sought to control, refine and engineer language for various epistemological, communicative and nationalistic purposes. This book seeks to explore cases in the history of science in which questions or concerns with language have bubbled to the surface in scientific discourse. This opens a window into the particular ways in which scientists have conceived of and construed language as the central medium of their activity across different cultural contexts and places, and the clashes and tensions that have manifested their many attempts to engineer it to both preserve and enrich its function. The subject of language draws out many topics that have mostly been neglected in the history of science, such as the connection between the emergence of national languages and the development of science within national settings, and allows us to connect together historical episodes from many understudied cultural and linguistic venues such as Eastern European and medieval Hebrew science.

Book Description
Compound Histories: Materials, Governance and Production, 1760-1840 offers a new view of the period during which Europe took on its modern character and globally dominant position. By exploring the intertwined realms of production, governance and materials, it places chemists and chemistry at the center of processes most closely identified with the construction of the modern world. This includes the interactive intensification of material and knowledge production; the growth and management of consumption; environmental changes, regulation of materials, markets, landscapes and societies; and practices embodied in political economy. Rather than emphasize revolutionary breaks and the primacy of innovation-driven change, the volume highlights the continuities and accumulation of incremental changes that framed historical development. Contributors are: Robert G.W. Anderson, Bernadette Bensaude Vincent, José Ramón Bertomeu Sánchez, John R.R. Christie, Joppe van Driel, Frank A.J.L. James, Christine Lehman, Lissa L. Roberts, Thomas le Roux, Elena Serrano, Anna Simmons, Marie Thébaud-Sorger, Sacha Tomic, Andreas Weber, Simon Werrett.

Book Description
La polémica sobre el papel de la ciencia y la técnica española, conforman el núcleo importante de la exposición, dando respuesta al tópico según el cuál España no contribuyó en el desarrollo de la ciencia y la técnica del siglo XVIII. Y la respuesta es afirmativa, con una importante participación en numerosos campos, con relaciones y proyección internacional. El recorrido por el Muvim nos muestra las claves de una época de grandes cambios sociales, descubrimientos geográficos, revolución en las matemáticas, química, medicina, etc. Tiempos también de creación de las Reales Academias, el Jardín Botánico, el Observatorio Astronómico y las Sociedades Económicas de Amigos del Pais. Al mismo tiempo ven la luz diversos periódicos, libros, diccionarios, etc. También repasa los nombres de valencianos de primerísima fila, tales como, Jorge Juan, Cavanilles, Gabriel Ciscar y de otros, así como nos acerca a grandes expediciones científicas, como la del alicantino Malaespina. Podemos admirar también los corales del Museo de Ciencias Naturales, los cuales se encuentran en un espacio diseñado como gabinete de curiosidades. Otro espacio está integrado por los retratos o vestidos de la Familia Real, algunos de los cuales son obra de Maella o de Mengs.
