World as Laboratory: Experiments with Mice, Mazes, and MenDeeply researched, World as Laboratory tells a secret history that's not really a secret.

What Rebecca Lemov cleverly traces for the first time is how the absurd, the practical, and the dangerous experiments of the human engineers of the first half of the twentieth century left their laboratories to become our day-to-day reality. |
