A Bridge between Conceptual Frameworks
This book analyzes scientific problems within the history of physics, engineering, chemistry, astronomy and medicine, correlated with technological applications in the social context. When and how is tension between disciplines explicitly practised? What is the conceptual bridge between science researches and the organization of technological researches in the development of industrial applications? The authors explain various ways in which the sciences allowed advanced modelling on the one hand, and the development of new technological ideas on the other hand. An emphasis on the role played by mechanisms, production methods and instruments bestows a benefit on historical and scientific disc...

An exploration of headhunting and the collection of heads for European museums in the context of colonial wars, from the 1870s to the 1930s.

Histórias da Luz e das Cores, volume 2
Perante o extraordinário esforço que os cientistas de oitocentos realizaram no estudo da ciência da luz e das cores, pareceu adequado consagrar este volume exclusivamente ao séc. XIX. Foi neste século que o caráter sobrenatural dos fenómenos luminosos sucumbiu totalmente perante a razão; que a magia ótica se transformou em conhecimento tangível; que se estabeleceram as bases sólidas da ótica clássica. Este volume das Histórias da Luz e das Cores ocupa-se destes homens, da ciência e tecnologia óticas que criaram, e das mudanças sociais que estas atividades provocaram. A forte componente cultural destes cientistas coloca-os num lugar privilegiado entre os filósofos escolásticos ou naturais ─ que sabiam quase nada de quase tudo ─ e os cientistas contemporâneos ─ que sabem quase tudo de quase nada. A leitura deste volume revela ainda que o Homem oitocentista continuou a revelar as mais profundas inclinações humanas, através de crenças infantis, especulações fantasiosas e antropomorfismos absurdos.
Catholics in Independent Indonesia: 1945-2010
Catholics in Independent Indonesia: 1945-2010 concludes Steenbrink’s three volume historical account of Catholicism in Indonesia with a detailed report of the survival and growth of this minority religion in Muslim Indonesia since its independence in 1945. Colonial Catholicism survived in the independent Republic of Indonesia during the nationalist Sukarno regime (1945-1965) and regained a new dynamic during the general religious revival that was part of the New Order of Soeharto after 1965. From a Dutch-inspired institution it became a fully Indonesian steered community with a modern and international character. The second half of the book will deal with the different regional developments in this vast country.
