Archimedes has three fundamental goals; to further the integration of the histories of science and

technology with one another: to investigate the technical, social and practical histories of specific

developments in science and technology; and finally, where possible and desirable, to bring the

histories of science and technology into closer contact with the philosophy of science. To these

ends, each volume will have its own theme and title and will be planned by one or more

members of the Advisory Board in consultation with the editor. Although the volumes have

specific themes, the series itself will not be limited to one or even to a few particular areas. Its

subjects include any of the sciences, ranging from biology through physics, all aspects of

technology, broadly construed, as well as historically-engaged philosophy of science or

technology. Taken as a whole, Archimedes will be of interest to historians, philosophers, and

scientists, as well as to those in business and industry who seek to understand how science and

industry have come to be so strongly linked.
