Ciência, Tecnologia e Medicina na Construção de Portugal 4—Inovação e Contestação (Séc. XX)

The first complete history of science, technology and medicine in Portugal

An unprecedented approach in Portuguese historiography, in four volumes, from the 15th century to the present

This collection presents, in four volumes, an original and current view of the relevance of science, technology and medicine in the construction of Portugal, from the medieval period to the present day. The aim is to make known to a diverse audience the best historical research in these areas, supplying the traditional alienation of Portuguese historiography in relation to national scientific contexts.

—
The fourth volume, Inovação e Contestação (Séc. XX), focuses on the multiple roles assumed by science, technology and medicine in Portugal throughout the four political regimes that marked this period – monarchy, First Republic, Estado Novo and democracy – in a context in which the national and international dimensions densify the fabric of their crossings.
