Summary:This collection of essays is novel in three important ways. Firstly, it takes the movement of knowledge as the key object for a transnational approach. Secondly, while respecting the injunction to write histories that are not confined by the borders of the national container, it shows how much national borders matter when knowledge is at stake. Thirdly, knowledge is not restricted to information: it includes know-how and tacit knowledge that can be embodied in ideas, people, and things.
