| Zusammenfassung: | Introduction: A wide web of research -- Family connexions -- From Patna to Cambridge -- Singapore: Geology and a globe -- New Zealand revelations, 1940 -- Singapore: War and the military -- Part 1 New Zealand: A new life -- Part 2 New Zealand: A life scientific -- Singapore: Disaster, death and survival -- Singapore: Revival and rebirth -- Nigeria's first university -- A disappearance from history "Many women scientists, particularly those who did crucial work in two world wars, have disappeared from history. Until they are written back in, the history of science will continue to remain unbalanced. This book tells the story of Elizabeth Alexander, a pioneering scientist who changed thinking in geology and radio astronomy during WWII and its aftermath. Building on an unpublished diary, recently declassified government records and archive material adding considerably to knowledge about radar developments in the Pacific in WWII, this book also contextualises Elizabeth's academic life in Singapore before the war, and the country's educational and physical reconstruction after it as it moved towards independence. This unique story is a must-read for readers interested in scientific, social and military history during the WWII, historians of geology, radar, as well as scientific biographies"-- |

Until they are written back in, the history of science will continue to remain unbalanced. This book tells the story of Elizabeth Alexander, a pioneering scientist who changed thinking in geology and radio astronomy during WWII and its aftermath. Building on an unpublished diary, recently declassified government records and archive material adding considerably to knowledge about radar developments in the Pacific in WWII, this book also contextualises Elizabeth's academic life in Singapore before the war, and the country's educational and physical reconstruction after it as it moved towards independence. This unique story is a must-read for readers interested in scientific, social and military history during the WWII, historians of geology, radar, as well as scientific biographies"-- Alexander, Elizabeth 1908-1958 (DE-588)1236851927 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Wissenschaftlerin (DE-588)4136652-9 gnd rswk-swf Physik (DE-588)4045956-1 gnd rswk-swf Geologie (DE-588)4020227-6 gnd rswk-swf Weibliche Gelehrte (DE-588)4239471-5 gnd rswk-swf Radioastronomie (DE-588)4048200-5 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf Singapur (DE-588)4055089-8 gnd rswk-swf Alexander, Elizabeth / 1908-1958 Women scientists / Great Britain / Biography Scientists / Great Britain / Biography Geologists / Great Britain / Biography Astronomers / Great Britain / Biography Physicists / Great Britain / Biography Geology / Singapore / History / 20th century Radio astronomy / History / 20th century World War, 1939-1945 / Radar Alexander, Elizabeth 1908-1958 (DE-588)1236851927 p DE-604 Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Singapur (DE-588)4055089-8 g Geologie (DE-588)4020227-6 s Physik (DE-588)4045956-1 s Radioastronomie (DE-588)4048200-5 s Weibliche Gelehrte (DE-588)4239471-5 s Wissenschaftlerin (DE-588)4136652-9 s Geschichte z DE-601 pdf/application https://www.gbv.de/dms/bowker/toc/9781786346643.pdf 2020-01-19 Aggregator Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung Deutsches Museum application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032671318&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
