Struik, Dirk J.: 



1948: Yankee science in the making (445 p., Boston; Isis 40, 62-64). 



This hst could be indefinitely extended if to the books dealing with the history 

 of science in separate countries were added those devoted to special provinces or 

 cities, or to academies, universities, museums, scientific societies, etc. A few excep- 

 tions were made faute de mieux for the history of the Italian scientific congress ( the 

 Italian equivalent of AAAS) under Italy, and for Gunther's books under Great 

 Britain. 



The bibhography of the history of science relative to each country is made difficult 

 by the confusion of two ideas. For example, history of science in Poland may be 

 understood in two very different ways, which are symbolized by the formulas 



1) (history of science) in Poland 



2) history of (science in Poland). 



Under ( I ) would be classified papers or books concerning the teaching and the 

 study of the history of science ( universal science ) in Poland, under ( 2 ) the contribu- 

 tions made by Polish men of science, the biographies of these men, the development 

 of each branch of science in Poland, etc.
