    摘要、提要註: Surveillance is a key notion for understanding power and control in the modern world, but it has been curiously neglected by historians of science and technology. Using the overarching concept of the surveillance imperative, this collection of essays offers a new window on the evolution of the environmental sciences during and after the Cold War.
