The word texture should be understood in its literal meaning: the fine structures and often hidden inter-connections between material objects, working techniques and symbolic meanings which go into the process of scientific change.
The first one explores hitherto unrecognized practical knowledge traditions and their impact on the formation of science during the mid-18th until the mid-19th century.
The second one focuses on the changing experiential basis of physics in the period between 1870 and 1920.

 Government Aid to Science, by Alfred Russel Wallace
Art education is already to a considerable extent supplied by the State,--technical education (which I presume means education in "the arts") is vigorously pressed upon the Government,--and Science also is now urging her claims to a modicum of State patronage and support.
For the same reason I maintain that all schools of art or of science, or for technical education, should be supported by the parties who are directly interested in them or benefited by them.
Let it but become an established rule that all institutions solely for the advancement of science and art must be supported by private munificence, and we may be sure that such institutions would be quite as well supported as they are now, and I believe much better.

 Government Aid to Science, by Alfred Russel Wallace   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The first half of this passage does express, though imperfectly, what I believe to be the truth; the latter half expresses the exact opposite of what I have ever thought or intended to write on the subject.
The main result of the cultivation of science I hold to be, undoubtedly, the elevation of those who cultivate it to a higher mental and moral standpoint; while the secondary, but not less certain result, is the acquisition of countless physical, social, and intellectual benefits for the whole human race.
But if these are the secondary and not the primary results of cultivating science, it seems to me to be radically unsound in principle, and sure to fail in practice, if by means of any system of State support we seek to find a short cut to these secondary results.

Crookes, that men of science have shown too great a disinclination to investigate the evidence and nature of these alleged facts, even when their occurrence has been asserted by competent and credible witnesses"(2).
Whether men of science were justified in their indifference - an indifference no doubt largely fostered by the belief that the craze would shortly die out of its own accord - is fair matter for debate.
Not the least instructive feature of the chronicle is the sharp contrast between the tone and temper of those men of science who, after examination, accepted, and of those who, with or without examination, rejected the evidence for the alleged physical phenomena.

 Franz Rottensteiner- Recent Writings on German Science Fiction
Science fiction and fantasy are still somewhat neglected fields of study in German-speaking countries, but courses and lectures in sf (and not only utopian studies) are now quite common, and an interest in paraliterary genres is no longer frowned upon as irreconcilable with academic respectability.
In fact, he thinks little of these histories; sf interests him as material for the historian since it illuminates our time—it is for him as much a document of the twentieth century as are news-papers or other records.
Morever, his central claim is that "Science Fiction is the contemporary expression of historical self-awareness" (18; "Science Fiction ist der zeitgemäße Ausdruck historischen Selbstverständnisses").

Science tells us it's less painful and cruel (or at least old science told us that - new science implies that may not be the case, and hence it seems logical to me that we revise what counts as an ethical action).
I had done a lot of work in vision science as an undergraduate, and had actually seen these colors doing perceptual experiments in afterimage (which is how he would demonstrate them to us) but had no framework at all in which to talk about them until now.

The history of science and technology in Russian and the Soviet Union is a field of study that is underdeveloped in the West, and good books on the subject in English or other West European languages are correspondingly rare.
In 1931, at the Second International Conference of the History of Science in London, the Soviet physicist and historian Boris Hessen presented a paper on Isaac Newton that is often considered the most influential paper in the externalist interpretation of the history of science.
