„This is a widely significant and ambitious volume notwithstanding

its small size and seemingly esoteric subject matter... The book joins a small but

important literature that deals with the space shared

between laboratory scientists with their disciplinary

concerns and the wider public sphere.“ - Robert Budd, American Historical Review
