Isaac Newton: Adventurer in Thought
ISBN: 9780521566698 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this elegant, absorbing biography of Isaac Newton (1642-1727), Rupert Hall surveys the vast field of modern scholarship in order to interpret Newton's mathematical and experimental approach to nature. Mathematics was always the deepest, most innovative and productive of Newton's interests. However, he was also a historian, theologian, chemist, civil servant and natural philosopher. These diverse studies were unified in his single design as a Christian to explore every facet of God's creation. The exploration during the past forty years of Newton's huge manuscript legacy, has greatly...

Science and Society: Historical Essays on the Relations of Science, Technology and Medicine
ISBN: 9780860784005 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the second selection of articles by Rupert Hall to be published by Variorum. Whereas the first volume focused on Newton and his work, the present one ranges more widely over the interactions between a purea science, a applieda science, and craftsmanship, but with an emphasis on the period from the 17th century to the Industrial Revolution. The second and third sections look in particular at the relations between science and warfare, and science and medicine, and the position of the Royal Society forms the focus of several papers. Throughout Professor Hall argues for the need to keep...

Henry More and the Scientific Revolution
ISBN: 9780521562232 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Henry More (1614-87) was the greatest English metaphysical theologian and the most perplexing; he was also perhaps the most distinguished member of the group of divines known as the Cambridge Platonists. An admirer of Galileo, Descartes and Boyle, he rejected their detailed applications of mechanical philosophy to the explanation of natural phenomena. He was an experimenter, yet also a cabalist, and one of the few writers whom Newton acknowledged as having influenced his ideas. First published in 1990, this thorough and accessible biography is the first book-length treatment of this...

Newton, His Friends and His Foes
ISBN: 9780860783473 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Over the last forty years Professor Hall has been a major contributor to the a new viewa of Newton now generally accepted. Essentially this has derived from the bringing to light and examination of Newtona s vast, but long neglected legacy of manuscripts, and the first studies in this volume illustrate the wealth of information these provide on the earliest phases of his great discoveries in mathematics and science. In particular, they confirm the intensity and originality of Newtona s investigations before and through the a anni mirabilesa of 1665-66. Further papers then deal with his...

Philosophers at War: The Quarrel Between Newton and Leibniz
ISBN: 9780521524896 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Probably the most celebrated controversy in all of the history of science was that between Newton and Leibniz over the invention of the calculus. The argument ranged far beyond a mere priority dispute and took on the character of a war between two different philosophies of nature. Newton was the first to devise the methods of the calculus, but Leibniz (who independently discovered virtually identical methods) was the first to publish, in 1684. Mutual toleration passed into suspicion and, at last, denunciation of each by the other as a fraud and a plagiarist. The affair became a scandal, as...

The Correspondence of Isaac Newton
ISBN: 9780521085939 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This fifth volume presents the surviving correspondence from the period of almost four years which is, from a bibliographical point of view, the most important time in Newton's life: with Roger Cotes, Newton revised his Philosophise Naturalis Principia Mathematics and saw it through the press. Considered as a single group of letters, the Newton-Cotes correspondence is the largest and most important section of Newton's scientific correspondence that we have. Nowhere else can one witness Newton in a detailed debate about scientific argument and scientific conclusions a debate from which he did...

The Correspondence of Isaac Newton
ISBN: 9780521085977 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In this seventh and final volume the letters are divided into two quite distinct groups. The first group begins with the remaining letters of the main chronological sequence written during the closing years of Newton's life, and then proceeds to those few letters to which there is no assignable date with any certainty. The second group of letters, placed in Appendix I, contains corrections and additions to the letters printed in the earlier volumes of the Correspondence. A genealogical table is added to Appendix II to help the reader through the intricacies of Newton's family tree. Even after...

The Correspondence of Isaac Newton
ISBN: 9780521085946 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) As Newton had by now entered his eighth decade, it can be no surprise that the correspondence in this sixth volume shows a marked decline in his activity and intellectual vigour. While the number of extant letters written by him on other that Mint business is relatively small, the majority of them are devoted to his controversy with Leibniz - Newton's dominant interest during this period. The correspondence of Newton shades gradually into the correspondence of the Newtonians. Thus notably Keill, De Moivre, Chamberlayne, Brook Taylor, the Abbe Conti and Des Maizeaux interested themselves in...
