Beskrivelse
Science in Denmark explores a millennium of political, social, and cultural shifts in a Scandinavian nation whose geography shrank as its national aspirations grew. The book highlights Denmark’s scientific milestones alongside its renowned figures like Tycho Brahe, Nicolaus Steno, Ole Rømer, Hans Christian Ørsted, and Niels Bohr.
An in-depth journey through Denmark’s scientific heritage and its global connections.
This comprehensive history reveals how international scientific movements were adopted and adapted within Denmark’s unique national setting. Drawing on original research, the authors weave a captivating narrative filled with rich detail, tracing the significance of science in Danish society from early astronomical studies and the establishment of the first university to the scientific revolution, the professionalization of disciplines, and the rise of a globally connected scientific community.
In recognition of their work, the authors were awarded the prestigious H. O. Lange Award for Outstanding Science Communication in 2007 for their four-volume Danish publication, Dansk Naturvidenskabs Historie, which covers the history of science in Denmark.
