Science Historians Recognised

Richard Yeo's book, Defining Science: William Whewell, Natural Knowledge and Public Debate in early Victorian Britain (CUP, 1993), recently reviewed in Metascience, was declared joint winner of the W.K. Hancock Prize, awarded biennially by the Australian Historical Association, at the annual conference of the association in Perth last September. This follows the award of the Prize in 1989-1990 to John Gascoigne of the University of New South Wales for his Cambridge in the Age of Enlightenment (CUP, 1989) in recognising the work of Australian historians in the history of science.
