Synopsis
This 1993 book provides a survey of the development of scientific disciplines and technical projects under National Socialism in Germany. Each contribution addresses a different aspect which is important for judging the interaction between science, technology and National Socialism. In particular, the personal conduct of individual scientists and engineers as well as the functionality of certain theories and projects are examined. All essays share a common theme: continuity and discontinuity. All authors cover a period from the Weimar Republic to the post-war period. This unanimity of approach provides answers to major questions about the nature of Hitler's regime and about possible lines of continuity in science and technology which may transcend political upheaval. The book is also the most comprehensive to date on this subject, and includes essays on engineering, geography, biology, psychology, physics, mathematics, and science policy.

From the Back Cover
This book provides a survey of the development of scientific disciplines and technical projects under National Socialism in Germany. Each contribution addresses a different, new aspect which is important for judging the interaction between science, technology and National Socialism. In particular, the personal conduct of individual scientists and engineers as well as the functionality of certain the ones and projects are examined. All essays share a common theme: continuity and discontinuity. All authors cover a period that reaches back to the Weimar Republic and forward beyond the end of National Socialism to the post-war period. This unanimity of approach provides answers to major questions about the nature of Hitler's regime and about possible lines of continuity in science and technology which may transcend political upheaval. The book is also the most comprehensive to date on this subject, and includes essays on engineering, geography, biology, psychology, physics, mathematics, and science policy. It thus offers something of interest for the specialist, engineer and historian as well as an unprecedented overview of science and technology before, during and after the Third Reich.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This book is flat-signed by the co-editor Mark Walker on the title page. I believe it will be the only signed book for sale. It is also a First Edition (First Published). Both the book and the dust jacket are rated Near Fine. They both look pretty close to perfect. Take a look at the photographs. The covers of the book itself are very clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is very bright. There is little to no wear, a little crinkling at the bottom of the spine. The book is very solidly bound. The pages of the book are extremely clean, very bright and white. There's absolutely no writing/underlining/notes anywhere in the book. There are no markings. There are no creases. The pages are in great condition. The dust jacket is Not clipped. It has no soiling. Little to no wear, nothing I can see that needs to be called out. But take a look at the photographs and judge for yourself. From an unnamed Internet reviewer 'The first comprehensive study of the interaction between science and technology and the Nazi regime in Germany Each essay makes a major contribution to the study of an individual scientific or technological subject before, during and after Hitler's rule Mark Walker, the chief editor, is the leading world authority on Nazi Germany and the attempt to develop nuclear power.' From the Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society "Overall the volume offers the best study available of the consequential interaction of science and technology with National Socialism in Germany.".
