Joshua Guild, Kevin Kruse, and Sean Wilentz read various pieces.
Several years later, Elaine Ayers, Emily Kern, and Ingrid Ockert read the entire manuscript and supplied detailed feedback. Sarah Milov provided a wonderfully bracing comment on an early chapter. At Princeton, I joined a dynamic community of historians who pushed the project in new directions, including Graham Burnett, Angela Creager, Michael Gordin, Katja Guenther, Jenny Rampling, Keith Wailoo, and the slowly changing members of our Monday afternoon Program Seminar. My formal and informal mentors-Julie Green, Clare Lyons, and Robyn Munch-provided much needed intellectual guidance at crucial junctures. Rick Bell, Janna Bianchini, Mike Ross, and David Sartorius kept me cheerful. I would like to thank the Science, Technology, and Society group at Maryland, including Lindley Darden, Robert Friedel, David Sicilia, and Tom Zeller. At the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin I began work on the project, at the University of Maryland I planned my research and drafted early chapters, at Princeton University I tore it all apart, and upon returning to Berlin for a year of sabbatical I stitched it back together.
