Die neue Politikgeschichte hat die enge Definition von »Politik« hinter sich gelassen. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Bandes verstehen das Politische als einen dynamischen Kommunikationsraum, dessen Grenzen und Inhalte beständig ausgehandelt werden – durch verbale, symbolische und teils auch gewalthafte Kommunikation. Diese Grenzziehungen und Kommunikationsformen werden an ausgewählten Beispielen dargestellt, um schließlich die Frage zu beantworten, was auf der Agenda einer künftigen historischen Politikforschung stehen sollte.

During the past generation, social welfare has risen to a position of almost prime importance in the work of government. "Social services" have rivalled "defense services" as objects of public expenditure. "Social security" has complemented "national security" as an objective of public policy. Graduate schools of social work have taken their place alongside law schools, schools of education, and military and naval academies as important training-places for public service. It is perhaps time that we now inquire in what ways political science has been, or may yet be, affected by so phenomenal a change. If, as we are often assured, atomic fission means a revolution in our political thinking, the large-scale pursuit of social welfare might at least be expected to call for an equally vast, even though more gradual, evolution in our attitudes.As an organized body of professed political scientists, how have we reacted to this change? We have, by and large, welcomed the extension of governmental activity. As teachers, we have helped habituate a new generation to such expressions as "the service state," "positive government," and "the new belief in the common man." As scholars, we have followed with interest and approval the successive steps by which jurists have brought these activities within the framework of the written constitution of a federal state. As theorists, we have given to personal insecurity an honored place in the new psychopathological chapter in our evolving political philosophy. As citizens, we have played our part in planning and administering social welfare policies.
The interface between History, Science and Nature is dynamic and vital for deepening knowledge about the uses of the planet and nature (Earth / Oceans / Seas), understanding it as an agent of modernization of economic, social, scientific and cultural of states and nations (Horden et al. 2006; Rozwadowski 2014; García 2014). Nature can also be seen as an agent of new scientific and cultural practices of sociabilities, representative of new political, philosophical and social ideals, in which the production, circulation and appropriation of knowledge and its techniques is a reality (Wigen 2006; Brito 2010; Salgueiro et al. 2014). There is a brave new world waiting for new relations that unite different spatialities and mentalities, enhancing intercultural encounters, manifested in official reports, explorers' reports, and the constitution of libraries, museums, collections and scientific objects (Lopes 2009; Felismino 2014; Granato & Lourenço 2014; Albuquerque 2015; Nunes 2016; Pereira 2017).
Professor Joseph Agassi has published his Towards an Historiography of Science in 1963. It received many reviews by notable academics, including Maurice Finocchiaro, Charles Gillispie, Thomas S. Kuhn, Geroge Mora, Nicholas Rescher, and L. Pearce Williams. It is still in use in many courses in the philosophy and history of science. Here it appears in a revised and updated version with responses to these reviews and with many additional chapters, some already classic, others new. They are all paradigms of the author's innovative way of writing fresh and engaging chapters in the history of the natural sciences.

Professor Emeritus Robert Lynn Savage, 71, of Fayetteville passed away January 26, 2011. He was born February 26, 1939, in Fort Worth, Texas. He served in the United States Air Force from 1956 to 1959. Savage received his BA degree from Tarleton State College in 1963 and his MA degree from the University of Houston, where he served as a graduate and teaching assistant from 1964 to 1966. He graduated in 1966 with a thesis entitled "Absurdity and the Political System: The Political Thought of Albert Camus" under the direction of Professor John Green. Upon graduation, he served as an instructor before he continued his pursuit of a doctorate in political science from the University of Missouri–Columbia. He completed his academic work in 1971 with a dissertation entitled "Sociocultural Change and Policy Values in the American States." His dissertation chair was Professor Dan Nimmo, with whom Bob maintained a lifelong friendship. Nimmo's influence shaped Savage's interest in political communication and behavior and state politics. His first appointment as assistant professor brought him to Auburn University at Montgomery, where he worked from 1971 to 1974, when he started his career at the University of Arkansas in the fall of 1974. He was promoted to associate professor just three years later in 1977 and to professor in 1982. He served as interim chair during that year and eventually as chair of the department from 1989 to 1998. Bob retired in 2001.
