Overall, this edited collection represents a greatly enriching contribution to conceptual history that raises questions of methodology and concepts and analyses these successfully from various national perspectives. * NTM History of Science, Technology & Medicine The great merit of the editors' pluralist approach is that they allow a range of distinguished international contributors free rein to discuss the topics in depth for the United States, Germany, and Britain, with invaluable comparative discussion of Hungary and China too...a rich and intriguing Collection. * Isis This is an important and timely contribution to the conceptual history of science in the twentieth century, with a laudably thorough discussion of methodological and conceptual concerns. * Julian Bauer, European University Association Concepts reflect ideologies and policies as much as they shape them, bridging the gap between expectations and reality. This transnational probe into the basic/applied rhetoric of science policy discourse is a unique and overdue analysis that will contribute to our understanding of past and present relations among science, innovation and the political contexts in which they develop. * Peter Weingart, Bielefeld University
