Master Mechanics Wicked Wizards Scientist
From the earliest depictions of Benjamin Franklin and his kite experiment to 21st-century renderings of crazy scientists, representations of American scientists in the ordinary media disclose a great deal when it comes to our cultural hopes and fears. In an agreeably diverting and perceptive survey of ordinary media over three hundred years of American history religious tracts, political cartoons, literature, theater, advertising, art, comic books, radio, music, television, and film Glen Scott Allen examines the stereotypes assigned to scientists for what they tell us when it comes to America’s pride in it is technical attainments as well as our prejudices regarding sure “suspect” kinds of scientific investigation.
Working in the tradition of cultural studies, Allen offers an analysis that is throughout history comprehensive and gravely specific. Integrating both “high” creative writing of recognized artisti value and “low” comedy, he delves into the assumptions with regards to scientists good, bad, and crazy that have been shaped by and have in turn shaped American cultural forces. Throughout the book, his focus is on why sure kinds of scientists have been lionized as American heroes, while others have been demonized as anti-American villains.
Allen demonstrates that there is a continuous thread running from the seminal crazy scientists of Hawthorne’s eighteenth-century fiction to innovative megalomaniacs like Dr. Strangelove; that merchandising was as necessary to the reputation of the outstanding independent inventors as technical prowess was; and that cultural prejudices which may be traced all the way back to Puritan ideology are at work in progressed scientific controversies over cloning and evolution.
The periods and movements examined are to an outstanding degree far-ranging: the creative writing of recognized artisti value and system of belief of the Romantics; the engineering fairs and utopian fiction of the nineteenth century; political movements of the 1930s and 1940s; the science fiction boom of the 1950s; the space and arms races of the 1960s and 1970s; the resurgence of pseudo-sciences in the 1980s and 1990s. This book will be of interest not just to teachers and students of cultural studies and the history of science and engineering but to any individual mesmerized in American culture and how it shapes our experience and defines our horizons.
ReviewGlen Scott Allen has penned a very agreeably diverting book. . . . From the fame of Benjamin Franklin to today’s films and other media that reprocess the crazy scientist theme, there is a consistent thread that runs from early novels to Dr. Strangelove. We still do celebrate scientists in America, but not as in former times when Thomas Edison was revered. This is an insight-filled look at a share of our cultural history. –Bookviews, Dec. 2009
‘Master Mechanics & Wicked Wizards’ is a arousing and attention holding read that is as informed and informative as it is perceptive and entertaining; ranging as it does through 19th century utopian fiction to 20th century accomplishments in technology, discovery, and advancements. Enhanced with copious notes and a comprehensive index, (the book) is a seminal work particularly commended for both academic and community library American History and Popular Culture reference collections and supplemental reading lists. –Midwest Book Review, Dec. 2009

 A Great Read
By Sharon Bryan
This book is a smart, witty look at how American culture has systematically preferent master mechanics (inventors, employed scientists) to wicked wizards (those whose work seems more mysterious, hidden, foreign, threatening). It goes on to outline the significations of this preference, and urges a reconsideration of our priorities. Allen makes his case with a wide range of examples, including agreeably diverting chapters on science fiction movies and trenchant analyses of the development of the atomic bomb and sequences from the American space program. The author leads readers deftly through an impressive array of information, making connections clear. I think the book will appeal to humans from a wide range of backgrounds: science, humanities, cultural studies, sociology, even politics.

A pleasant, readable journeying into perceptions of scientists
By James R. Cook III
This astoundingly readable investigation into the sensing of scientists in American culture was the most stimulating book I’ve read in numerous time. Withholding judgement, Allen lays out the two competing views of the scientist and refuses to fall into the trap of telling us which is better or ‘the right one’. I liked the way he drew on representations of scientists from the media and literature, as well as from political/historical events. Allen is evidently well grounded in the sciences, yet his literate, engaging writing is accessible for the lay reader.

A historical overview of the scientist in ordinary media
By Midwest Book Review
Throughout American history from colonial times to the present, scientists have played a major role in not just the technical evolution of the country, but it is ordinary culture as well. In “Master Mechanics & Wicked Wizards: Images of the American Scientist as Hero and Villain from Colonial Times to the Present”, Glen Scott Allen (co-developer and conductor of the Cultural Studies Program at Towson University) presents a historical overview of the scientist in popular media over three centuries of American history. Drawing from such diverse roots and forums as political cartoons, literature, advertising, religious tracts, art, comics, radio, television, music, and film, American stereotypes of the scientist as both hero and villain are explored, illustrated and exemplified in fiction and in fact. From the mutual effigy of the ‘mad scientist’ (e.g. Dr. Strangelove) to the portrayals of the scientist as hero (e.g. Benjamin Franklin), “Master Mechanics & Wicked Wizards” is a arousing and attention holding read that is as informed and informative as it is perceptive and entertaining, ranging as it does through 19th century utopian fiction, to 20th century attainments in technology, discovery, and advancements. Enhanced with copious notes and a comprehensive index, “Master Mechanics & Wicked Wizards” is a seminal work in particular commended for both academic and community library American History and Popular Culture reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
