- Abstract
"Capital Científica: Práticas da Ciência em Lisboa e a História Contemporânea de Portugal" is a book edited by Tiago Saraiva and Marta Macedo that explores the history of science, technology, and medicine (STM) in Lisbon and its impact on the contemporary history of Portugal. The book covers the period from the early nineteenth century to the late twentieth century and analyzes how urban problems influenced the development of STM institutions and how the knowledge they produced shaped the city. The book takes a multidisciplinary approach, examining various scientific institutions and their impact on the city's form and spread. It provides a comprehensive narrative of the role of STM in the making of Lisbon and offers valuable insights into the contemporary history of Portugal.
