Reviews
Meneghello provides an important contribution to the understanding of the interaction of biology and politics in the nineteenth century. Florence Vienne, Metascience, 28 (2019) The author [succeeds] in drawing a rich and comprehensive picture of Moleschott as a member of the scientific landscape of his time between national coverage and international recognition. Carolin Kosuch, Quellen und Forschungen aus italienischen Archiven und Bibliotheken, 98 (2018/19), translated from German A worthy successor to Frederick Gregorys landmark study of 1977 and a fine exemplar of the insight afforded by scientific biography. Gabriel Finkelstein, ISIS, 109/4 (2018) With her biography of Moleschott, Meneghello has closed a desideratum that reveals exciting transnational perspectives on the role that popular science played in the process of European nation-building. Claus Spenninger, Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte 41/3 (2018), translated from German
»Meneghello provides an important contribution to the understanding of the interaction of biology and politics in the nineteenth century.« Florence Vienne, Metascience, 28 (2019) »Der Autorin [gelingt es] ein reiches und umfassendes Bild Moleschotts als Teil der Wissenschaftslandschaft seiner Zeit zwischen nationaler Sendung und internationalem Selbstverständnis zu zeichnen.« Carolin Kosuch, Quellen und Forschungen aus italienischen Archiven und Bibliotheken, 98 (2018/19) »A worthy successor to Frederick Gregorys landmark study of 1977 and a fine exemplar of the insight afforded by scientific biography.« Gabriel Finkelstein, ISIS, 109/4 (2018) »Meneghello hat mit ihrer Moleschott-Biographie ein Desiderat geschlossen, das spannende transnationale Perspektiven hinsichtlich der Rolle, die (Populär-)Wissenschaft im Prozess des europäischen ›nation-building‹ spielte, aufzeigt.« Claus Spenninger, Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte 41/3 (2018) Reviewed in: de Nederlandse Boekengids, 4/2 (2019), Ad Maas
