Reviews

Using a wide range of sources, including papers of trade unions and government departments, and records that offer insights into worker perspectives, Steffan Blayney demonstrates how historical concepts intersect and function in different contexts. Anyone who wants to argue that physics has nothing to do with politics should read this book. --Iwan Rhys Morus, author of Nikola Tesla and the Electrical Future A well-researched, highly readable account of an important social, economic, and scientific development in Britain during a period of industrial and global political change. Health and Efficiency will interest historians of modern Britain as well as historians of science, technology, and medicine. -- James F. Stark, author of The Cult of Youth: Anti-Ageing in Modern Britain
