Starting from the premise that scientific research is bound to specific places, times and practices, Friedrich Cain’s book focuses on moments in which these contexts are disrupted. During the German occupation (1939–1945), most Polish scientists were forced to find clandestine modes for their research. They often adjusted their laboratories and libraries or reassembled them from scratch as the book shows for contexts of social sciences, experimental systems of typhus research in Lwow and beyond, on studies of hunger in the Warsaw ghetto, and fi nally on attempts to organise physical research. It explores how practices and procedures were replaced, newly established or dynamised in the ‘laboratory situation of war’ and how strongly programmes of scientifi c neutrality had to be reconciled with political agendas.

Digital Book Launch You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
