John Krige, Ph.D., Kranzberg Professor in the School of History and Sociology, reflects on the importance of understanding the historical roots of scientific and technological developments in a special article for Spring/Summer 2017 issue of Georgia History Today, a publication of the Georgia Historical Society.
