Bernal J.D. Science and Industry in the Nineteenth Century

Routledge & Regal Paul Ltd., 1953. — 231 p.This book contains two essays of very different length and scope but with closely related subjects. A longer one covering in a general way the relations of science and technology in the nineteenth century and a shorter one analysing in detail just one such interaction - the discovery of molecular asymmetry by Pasteur in 1848, his first and in some ways his greatest scientific discovery.
'Science and Industry' is the result of some studies I undertook two or three years ago. At the time I was preparing a contribution to a collection of essays dealing
with various aspects of the relations between science and society to be published on behalf of the International Union for the History of Science.
