The reasons may have been different in different periods but were often driven by political or economic circumstances: The lack of suitable employment opportunities in their home countries, adverse political systems, and wars have led to the emigration of scientists. The volume shows that these movements have played an important role in spreading scientific knowledge and have often changed the scientific landscape, tradition and future of studies and research fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book analyses in particular: aspects of Euler's, Lagrange's and Boscovich's scientific biographies, migrations of scientists from France, Spain and Greece to Russia in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and from Russia to France in the twentieth century, exiles from Italy before the Italian Risorgimento, migrations inside Europe and the escape of mathematicians from Nazi-fascist Europe, between the two World Wars, as well as the mobility of experts around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt includes selected contributions from the symposium \u003ci\u003eIn Foreign Lands: The Migration of Scientists for Political or Economic Reasons\u003c\/i\u003e held at the Conference of the International Academy of the History of Science in Athens (September 2019).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Teresa Borgato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Birkhauser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 393\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030802516","brand":"Birkhauser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41129021046899,"sku":"9.78303E+12","price":203.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_f3734e76-3d19-41cc-9018-34a4969eebe1.jpg?v=1701266764","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/in-foreign-lands-the-migration-of-scientists-for-political-or-economic-reasons-9783030802516","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
