Robert P. Crease (born 22 Oct 1953, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a philosopher and historian of science. He is co-editor of the scholarly journal ''Physics in Perspective'' and writes a monthly column, "''Critical Point''", for the international physics magazine Physics World. He is Chairman of the ''Department of Philosophy'' at Stony Brook University, where he has been a professor since 1987. In philosophy his interests lie in performance theory, expertise, and trust. In history of science his interest focuses on the history of Brookhaven National Laboratory, one of the first three U.S. national laboratories; he is co-founder of the Laboratory History conferences which have been held bi-annually since 1999. In 2007 he was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in the United States, and the Institute of Physics (IOP) in London. He has written, co-written, translated, or edited over a dozen books. His articles have appeared in ''the Atlantic'', the ''New York Times'', the ''Wall Street Journal'', and other places. ==History of science== Robert P. Crease (Professor Bob) began to work on the history of Brookhaven National Laboratory shortly after arriving at Stony Brook in 1987. Brookhaven, established in 1947 and the site of several Nobel-prizewinning work, was among the first three U.S. National Laboratories. Due to its scientific ambitions and geographical location (not far from New York City), Brookhaven has experienced the tensions and conflicts affecting U.S. science-society relations “writ large”. These tensions and conflicts affect the management of science, science policy, the construction of large scientific facilities, and environmental concerns and community trust. Crease has written about the history of Brookhaven’s first quarter-century: Making Physics: A Biography of Brookhaven National Laboratory (University of Chicago Press, 1999). He is currently working on a sequel. His articles about Brookhaven include: * ''The National Synchrotron Light Source, Part I: Bright Idea'' – "Physics in Perspective 10 (2008)", ''pp. 438–467''. * ''The National Synchrotron Light Source, Part II: The Bakeout'' – "Physics in Perspective 11 (2009)", ''pp. 15–45''. * ''Recombinant Science: The Birth of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)'' – "Historical Studies in the Natural Sciences", 38:4, ''pp. 535–568''. * ''Quenched! The ISABELLE Saga, Part 1'' – ”Physics in Perspective 7, Sept. 2005" * ''Quenched! The ISABELLE Saga, Part 2'' – ”Physics in Perspective, 7, Dec. 2005" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert P. Crease」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
