This phenomenon is now attracting increasing attention in different historical specialties. Being Modern builds on this recent scholarly interest to explore engagement with science across culture from the end of the nineteenth century to approximately 1940. Addressing the breadth of cultural forms in Britain and the western world from the architecture of Le Corbusier to working class British science fiction, Being Modern paints a rich picture. Seventeen distinguished contributors from a range of fields including the cultural study of science and technology, art and architecture, English culture and literature examine the issues involved. The book will be a valuable resource for students, and a spur to scholars to further examination of culture as an interconnected web of which science is a critical part, and to supersede such tired formulations as 'Science and culture'. --|cProvided by publisher. 588 Description based on print version record. 590 Project Muse|bProject Muse Open Access 648 7 20th century|2fast 650 0 Science in popular culture|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh2001008372|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79023147-781|xHistory|y20th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Science|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85118585|zGreat Britain|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79023147-781|xHistory|y20th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 7 Intellectual life.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 975769 650 7 Science|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1108360 650 7 Science in popular culture.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1108734 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 0 Great Britain|xIntellectual life|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85056857 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Electronic books. .|2local 700 1 Shiach, Morag,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n88205010|eeditor. 700 1 James, Frank A.
