Rather than adopting a narrowly biographical approach--often oscillating between the anecdotal and the hagiographic--this study places the publications themselves at the center of analysis. Seeking to approach the history of scientific publishing from a cultural and sociological perspective, the book examines the forms and uses of these texts, connecting them with the spaces and actors involved in their production, circulation, and reception.\u003cbr\u003e The aim is to shift focus from final products to production processes--from the material characteristics of publications to the various agents in the publishing chain. In this context, a typically overlooked figure--the translator--emerges as a key actor in legitimizing specific versions of foreign scientific texts. By highlighting this role, the book sheds new light on how scientific works were translated, marketed, and distributed in Francoist Spain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernando García Naharro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839997699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839997693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Fernando García Naharro","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623496626431,"sku":"9781839997693","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/publishing-science-and-technology-under-fernando-garcza-naharro-9781839997693","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
