An American Scientist on the Research Frontier is the first scholarly study of the nineteenth-century American scientist Edward Williams Morley. In part, it is the long-overdue story of a man who lent his name to the Michelson and Morley Ether-Drift Experiment, and who conclusively established the atomic weight of oxygen. It is also the untold story of science in provincial America: what Hamerla presents as science on the "American research frontier." Hamerla carefully and usefully directs our attention away from more familiar sites of scientific activity during the nineteenth century, such as Harvard, Yale and Johns Hopkins. In so doing, he expands and reframes our understanding of how—and where—important scientific inquiry occurred during these years: not only in the Northeastern centers of elite academia, but also in the vastly different cultural contexts of Hudson and Cleveland, Ohio. This important examination of Morley’s struggle for personal and professional legitimacy extends and transforms our understanding of science during a foundational period, and leads to a number of unique conclusions that are vital to the literature and historiography of science. By revealing important aspects of the scientific culture of the American heartland, An American Scientist on the Research Frontier deepens our understanding of an individual scientist and of American science more broadly. In so doing, Hamerla changes the way we approach and understand the creation of scientific knowledge, scientific communities, and the history of science itself.

Advanced comments on Attilio Stajano’s Research, Quality, Competitiveness: European Union Technology Policy for the Information Society "Allocation for schools and education are believed [by most] to be a cost. Stajano proves with cogent analysis that education and knowledge are instead veritable infrastructures for social cohesion and economic productivity. Allocations for school and education are also necessary investments for life and productivity of a nation." Tullio De Mauro, past Minister of Education, Italy; Professor of Linguistics, University of Rome "A lively, insightful, and comprehensive book for policy makers that could also serve as a student textbook." Hermann Hauser, CEO Amadeus Capital Partners Ltd, UK "This book will be useful for companies and individuals who are planning to submit research proposals as well as lecturers, students, politicians and civil servants who are interested in EU technology policy." Sir Robin Saxby, ARM Holdings plc, Chairman "This book is not only a beautiful synthesis and a clear overview of what matters in [the making of modern Europe], it is also a message of hope for all of us who want to see Europe at work for the future." Luc de Brabandere, Vice-President, The Boston Consulting Group "Attilio Stajano is one of the pioneers who helped shape European research policy, specifically in the domain of information and communication policy….[His] book aims to provide all necessary information to help the reader understand Europe and the complexity of European integration. " Dr. Rosalie Zobel, Director, , European Commission, Brussels "[This book] is an enlightened tool for anyone considering submitting R & D proposals and provides an excellent text for courses on EU policies for sustainable growth." Brian Ennis, Chief Executive, IMSMAXIMS plc, Dublin.

From Research to Manuscript, written in simple, straightforward language, explains how to understand and summarize a research project. It is a writing guide that goes beyond grammar and bibliographic formats, by demonstrating in detail how to compose the sections of a scientific paper. This book takes you from the data on your desk and leads you through the drafts and rewrites needed to build a thorough, clear science article. At each step, the book describes not only what to do but why and how. It discusses why each section of a science paper requires its particular form of information, and it shows how to put your data and your arguments into that form. Importantly, this writing manual recognizes that experiments in different disciplines need different presentations, and it is illustrated with examples from well-written papers on a wide variety of scientific subjects. As a textbook or as an individual tutorial, From Research to Manuscript belongs in the library of every serious science writer and editor.
