Employing a transnational, diachronic perspective informed by historical semantics, this volume traces the conceptual history of the basic–applied distinction from the nineteenth century to today, taking stock of European developments alongside comparative case studies from the United States and China. It shows how an older dichotomy of pure and applied science was reconceived in response to rapid scientific progress and then further transformed by the geopolitical circumstances of the postwar era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“Overall, this edited collection represents a greatly enriching contribution to conceptual history that raises questions of methodology \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eand concepts and analyses these successfully from various national perspectives.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• NTM History of Science, Technology \u0026amp; Medicine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The great merit of the editors’ pluralist approach is that they allow a range of distinguished international contributors free rein to discuss the topics in depth for the United States, Germany, and Britain, with invaluable comparative discussion of Hungary and China too…a rich and intriguing Collection.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Isis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This is an important and timely contribution to the conceptual history of science in the twentieth century, with a laudably thorough discussion of methodological and conceptual concerns.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Julian Bauer\u003c\/strong\u003e, European University Association\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“Concepts reflect ideologies and policies as much as they shape them, bridging the gap between expectations and reality.
