supplemental issue of the journal in September 2007. This issue will
be printed and shipped to all subscribers at no cost to them. The
issue will be made available free of charge on UC Press' online

"We are delighted that the newly-evolved HSNS will more extensively
cover the dynamic history of science field." says Rebecca Simon,
