About this product
Product Information
This book is about wooden ships and plastic molecules, wax bodies and a perspex economy, monuments in cork and mathematics in plaster, casts of diseases, habitat dioramas and extinct monsters rebuilt in bricks and mortar. Considering such objects together for the first time, this interdisciplinary volume demonstrates how, in research as well as teaching, 3-D models played major roles in making knowledge.

Reviews
"This book is wonderful...a real treasure trove."-- The American Biology Teacher " Models is a rich and engaging exploration of three-dimensional representations in science....This edited volume will certainly have a great influence on the future of research on scientific representation."-- Journal of the History of Biology "The material presented in this book is so rich that it 'spills out' beyond its initial boundaries and opens up new connections and new possibilities. The book shows how working with three-dimensional models can provide a near infinite source of satisfaction for the scientist and the historian."-- Social History of Medicine "I highly recommend this volume to every historian and philosopher of science. It will most certainly stimulate research in this important area of scientific practice and thus have a legacy that goes beyond the rich collection of materials assembled. Dare I say that it might even become a model for future explorations of the material culture of science?"-- The British Journal of the History of Science, "...[I]f you are interested in the history of science then Models-The Third Dimension of Science edited by Soraya de Chadarevian and Nick Hopwood is a highly stimulating and thought-provoking book to read."—Acta Zoologica, " Models is a rich and engaging exploration of three-dimensional representations in science....This edited volume will certainly have a great influence on the future of research on scientific representation."-- Journal of the History of Biology, "The material presented in this book is so rich that it 'spills out' beyond its initial boundaries and opens up new connections and new possibilities.

[T]he wide-ranging chapters suggest intriguing aproaches to the investigation of objects which readers may wish to emulate."- Rittenhouse: Journal of the Scientific Instrument Enterprise, "...this collection of essays [provides] rich food for thought, and [is] a valuable source of material for comparison that goes well beyond the study of three dimensional models and includes, for example, the history of science as material culture, relationships between science and the public, and the relationship between different media in scientific practice."- Social Studies of Science, "...[I]f you are interested in the history of science then Models-The Third Dimension of Science edited by Soraya de Chadarevian and Nick Hopwood is a highly stimulating and thought-provoking book to read."--Acta Zoologica, " . . . [T]he wide-ranging chapters suggest intriguing aproaches to the investigation of objects which readers may wish to emulate."-Rittenhouse: Journal of the Scientific Instrument Enterprise, "This finely focused theme and the historical specificity of each author's contribution sustain and propel the reader through this rich, provocative collection,"- Science Magazine, " . . .
