Sobre este artículo
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Viking Pr, 2003. New book, 535 pages. In 1933 Hitler dismissed all Jewish scientists from positions in laboratories and universities, and the Nazi ideology began to dominate Germany's science communities. Some scientists collaborated enthusiastically with the Nazi's; most merely acquiesced, arguing that science lies outside politics and morality. By the end of WW2, few german scientists remained untainted by a regime bent on genocide and racial conquest. John Cornwell's account sets the story of scientists under Hitler against the background panorama of Germany's relentless scientific rise in the 19th century through its collapse in 1945. His powerful account weaves the history of science and technology with the fortunes of war and the stories of men and women whose discoveries brought both benefits and destruction to the world. . Hard Cover. As New/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
Sinopsis
An eye-opening account of the rise of science in Germany through to Hitler’s regime, and the frightening Nazi experiments that occurred during the Reich A shocking account of Nazi science, and a compelling look at the the dramatic rise of German science in the nineteenth century, its preeminence in the early twentieth, and the frightening developments that led to its collapse in 1945, this is the compelling story of German scientists under Hitler’s regime. Weaving the history of science and technology with the fortunes of war and the stories of men and women whose discoveries brought both benefits and destruction to the world, Hitler's Scientists raises questions that are still urgent today. As science becomes embroiled in new generations of weapons of mass destruction and the war against terrorism, as advances in biotechnology outstrip traditional ethics, this powerful account of Nazi science forms a crucial commentary on the ethical role of science.
