Scientific Institutions and Practice in France and Britain, C.1700-C.1870
ISBN: 9781138375109 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This second collection of studies by Maurice Crosland has as a first theme the differences in the style and organisation of scientific activity in Britain and France in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Science was more closely controlled in France, notably by the Paris Academy of Sciences, and the work of provincial amateurs much less prominent than in Britain. The most dramatic change in any branch of science during this period was in chemistry, largely through the work of Lavoisier and his colleagues, the focus of several articles here, and the dominance of this group caused...

Science Under Control: The French Academy of Sciences 1795-1914
ISBN: 9780521524759 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 476 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The greatest ambition of any moderately successful nineteenth-century French scientist was to become a member of the Academy of Sciences. Science Under Control is the first major study in any language of this elite institution, in a period that began with such influential figures as Laplace and Cuvier and extended to the time of Louis Pasteur and Henri Poincare. The book attempts to remove the veil of mystery and misunderstanding that has shrouded this key institution and its procedures. The French government exercised political, financial, and bureaucratic control over the Academy, and the...

Where do scientific terms come from' Why are they so similar in so many languages' How was the new nomenclature spread across the world' The Language of Science analyses the development of scientific vocabulary from its basic origins in everyday agricultural work, through to the need for a measurement system when it came to trading, to the scientific innovations of the seventeenth century and a subsequent period of consolidation in the eighteenth century. This is a period of great relevance in history of science and a strong focus of Crosland's work. The time between 1750 and 1800 saw many...

Gay-Lussac: Scientist and Bourgeois
ISBN: 9780521524834 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Gay-Lussac is best known for his chemical work but also made important contributions to other physical sciences and technology. This is the first work to examine critically both the scientific work and the man behind it. Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac (1778 1850) lived through three revolutions in France and his life reflected the social transformations taking place around him. His education and early progress in science depended on the Revolution of 1789 and on the patronage of the chemist Berthollet, a close associate of Napoleon Bonaparte. Gay-Lussac may be seen as the first 'professional'...

Science in France in the Revolutionary Era
ISBN: 9780262523653 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Thomas Bugge, Danish Astronomer Royal, spent six months in France in 1798-99 as his country's delegate to the International Commission on the Metric System, and while there he made a close study of the postrevolutionary scientific and cultural scene. Written up in the form of "letters," these observations were later published as Travels in the French Republic. The present work includes much of this material, some published in English for the first time, the rest unavailable except in a scarce English edition of 1801. The editor's principle of selection has been to include, among others,...
