Cold Science: Environmental Knowledge in the North American Arctic during the Cold War de Stephen Bocking

Cold Science: Environmental Knowledge in the North American Arctic during the Cold War: Routledge Studies in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine

Editat de Stephen Bocking, Daniel Heidt
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2020
Science during the Cold War has become a matter of lively interest within the historical research community, attracting the attention of scholars concerned with the history of science, the Cold War, and environmental history. The Arctic—recognized as a frontier of confrontation between the superpowers, and consequently central to the Cold War—has also attracted much attention. This edited collection speaks to this dual interest by providing innovative and authoritative analyses of the history of Arctic science during the Cold War.
