| Notes | This edition also issued in print: 2019 Includes bibliographical references and index This study provides a substantial history and analysis of the To-Day and To-Morrow series of 110 books, published by Kegan Paul Trench and Trübner (and E.P. Dutton in the USA) from 1923 to 1931, in which writers chose a topic, described its present, and predicted its future. Contributors included J.B.S. Haldane, Bertrand Russell, Vernon Lee, Robert Graves, Vera Brittain, Sylvia Pankhurst, Hugh McDiarmid, James Jeans, J.D. Bernal, Winifred Holtby, André Maurois, and many others. The study combines a comprehensive account of its interest, history, and range with a discussion of its key concerns, tropes, and influence. The argument focuses on science and technology, not only as the subject of many of the volumes, but also as method - especially through the paradigm of the human sciences - applied to other disciplines; and as a source of metaphors for representing other domain Specialized Description based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on October 21, 2019) HTTP:URL=https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198829454.001.0001 Information=Oxford scholarship online |
