So, the new Isis (December ’07) just found its way to my desk. It contains an article on 19th century natural history, and an article linking science and empire (although American, not British here). I always get the profoundest sense of deja vu whenever one of these suckers arrives for some odd reason.
More off the beaten track is an article on the teaching of science within the mid-twentieth century American Catholic context, but, I have to confess, I’m not exactly dropping everything else in my rush to read it.
