Recenzje

provides illuminating studies of individual instrument types, studies that frequently break new ground in their depth and thoroughness ... the book will be the essential work of reference on the topic for decades to come, and no library that covers the history of science or technology should be without a copy ... an example of how the data locked up in material culture can be realized and a richer vista of the first Elizabethan age opened to view.
