Reviews

Learning by Doing is an excellent compilation of studies on the ways experimental sciences have been taught in the past. The book also sheds light on pedagogical ideas, material culture, and teaching practices as well as the complex web of reasons and interests that underlie classroom teaching. A thought-provoking contribution to an important aspect of the history of science and as a potent demonstration of the range of sources historians could be exploiting. Sehr empfehlenswert fur Studenten und fur Wissenschaftler im Berufsleben.
