What is international science and how does it function? This book answers these questions through a detailed study of international congresses on genetics held from 1899 to 1939. It presents a portrait of international science as a product of continuous interactions that involved scientists and their patrons within specific political, ideological, and disciplinary contexts. Drawing on a variety of archival sources–ranging from Stalin’s personal papers to the records of the Gestapo and from the correspondence among scientists in different countries to the minutes of the Soviet government’s top-secret meetings–it depicts the operations of international science at a time of great political tensions.
Arguing that personal networks constitute a major structural component in the discipline’s formation, Krementsov traces the emergence of international networks in genetics and explains their role in shaping the international community’s reaction to national developments which threaten… More >>

Usability has become increasingly important as an essential part of the design and development of software and systems for all sectors of society, business, industry, government and education, as well as a topic of research. As interactive systems have become the norm and the variety of hardware and software has increased, it is no longer sufficient to just make the technology work in a functional and reliable manner. Now the usability of the technology for any given application or situation can be measured in terms of how easily, effectively and efficiently people can use it to accomplish their tasks and achieve their goals. Just as important as functionality is whether and to what extent users of technology are satisfied with their experiences when using technology. New ways of design and development, incorporating usability, have been proposed and documented and many projects undertaken to explore how to improve and enhance the lives of people when using information… More >>
