READING THE HISTORY OF WESTERN SCIENCE A List of Good Places To Start Compiled and Edited by A. BOWDOIN VAN RIPER for the Committee on Education of the History of Science Society THIS LIST MAY BE REPRODUCED IN WHOLE OR IN PART WITHOUT FURTHER PERMISSION Email: hssexec@u.washington.edu Thousands of books have been written on the history of Western science. The list below gives details and brief descriptions of a hundred or so that are especially good introductions to the field (or parts of it). The list is, by design, selective and idiosyncratic. The books on it were chosen because they combine solid scholarship, broad coverage, and an accessible style. Most include extensive bibliographies of more specialized books and articles. Virtually all are in print as of this writing [Fall 1998], and should be readily available through large bookstores and their on-line equivalents. The list does not include articles, primary sources, or books that deal only in part with historical issues. Nor, for the moment, does it include works on the histories of mathematics, technology, and medicine. It makes no attempt to include non-Western scientific traditions. These limits are designed both to keep the list to a manageable size and to keep it within the bounds of its compilers' expertise. Like all arbitrary limits, they are subject to change. Information on publishers, publication dates, and in-print status were accurate as of this writing and will be updated periodically if necessary. The abbreviations "U" (for university) and "UP" (for university press) are used throughout.

Selected Speaker Biographies Mina J. Bissell Dr. Mina Bissell graduated as Iran's top high school student. At that time, she also won a scholarship to study abroad and chose to attend Bryn Mawr where she studied chemistry before transferring to Radcliffe where she won the medal of the American Institute of Chemists while a senior. In 1963 she entered Harvard Medical school to study microbiology. While studying for her Ph.D. she won several scholarships, including the Ernest Fund for Basic Research. Her proposal that extracellular enzymes are secreted unfolded as they are translated from an RNA template was a radical concept at that time but has since been proven correct and has been studied in detail. In January, 1988, Dr. Bissell was appointed Director of Life Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, bringing two life science divisions together. Dr. Bissell continues to direct the research of her own laboratory as well as to administer the larger Division, which includes the Human Genome Center. Dr. Bissell has won a number of awards including both a Guggenheim award and a Fogarty Senior award. She has served on numerous government national and international committees (including three NIH study sections). She was elected as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 1994, and in 1995 she was elected to be President of the American Society of Cell Biology, succeeding J. Michael Bishop in December, 1996. She is one of the recipients of the 1996 Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award, the Department of Energy's highest honor to be bestowed on its scientists.
