Making Space for Science
In recent years there has been a growing recognition that a mature analysis of scientific and technological activity requires an understanding of its spatial contexts.

The editors aim to provide a series of studies, drawn from the history of science and engineering, from sociology and sociology and science, from literature and science, and from architecture and design history, which examine the spatial foundations of the sciences from a number of complementary perspectives.
