520    In the early decades of the twentieth century, engagement 
       with science was commonly used as an emblem of modernity. 
       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
