Joseph Banks and the English Enlightenment: Useful Knowledge and Polite Culture
ISBN: 9780521542111 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Joseph Banks's name is attached to various plant species around the world; he was President of the Royal Society, a Privy Councillor and adviser to the English government on a range of scientific and imperial issues. He was a driving force in the establishment of a penal colony at Botany Bay. Yet there are few monuments to him, and while he has been the subject of a number of biographies, these have been focused on his personal career rather than his relations to some of the movements of the period. This book places the work of Joseph Banks in the context of the Enlightenment. Banks's...

Science in the Service of Empire: Joseph Banks, the British State and the Uses of Science in the Age of Revolution
ISBN: 9780521181365 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book examines Sir Joseph Banks' role in promoting "imperial science," in the context of the consolidation of the British State during a time of extraordinary upheaval. Under pressure from the American, French and Industrial revolutions, the State became interested in the possible uses of science for economic and strategic gain. Banks became its principal adviser in scientific matters, and Gascoigne shows how he used personal networks and patronage to integrate scientific concerns into the complex machinery of government.

Science, Philosophy and Religion in the Age of the Enlightenment: British and Global Contexts
ISBN: 9781409400585 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Taking as its focus the wide-ranging character of the Enlightenment, both in geographical and intellectual terms, this second collection of articles by John Gascoigne explores this movement's filiation and influence in a range of contexts. In contrast to some recently influential views it emphasises the evolutionary rather than the revolutionary character of the Enlightenment and its ability to change society by adaptation rather than demolition. This it does by reference, firstly, to developments in Britain tracing the changing views of history in relation to the Biblical account, the...

Cambridge in the Age of the Enlightenment: Science, Religion and Politics from the Restoration to the French Revolution
ISBN: 9780521524971 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book attempts to defend the use of the term 'English Enlightenment' by using late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Cambridge as an illustration of the widespread diffusion of some of the chief characteristics of the Enlightenment within the Church of England and the English 'Establishment' more generally. It also seeks to provide a social context for the dissemination of such ideas by indicating how the political and ecclesiastical consequences of such events as the Restoration, the Glorious Revolution and the French Revolution helped either to facilitate or to impede that linkage...

Captain Cook: Voyager Between Two Worlds
ISBN: 9781847252098 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Captain James Cook was a supreme navigator and explorer. Born in North Yorkshire in 1728, when Cook entered the world of the peoples of the South Pacific, the gulf between the two cultures was not nearly as vast as it was a century later, when ships made of metal and powered by steam were able to expand and enforce European Empires. In their different ways both the English and the peoples of the Pacific had to battle the seas and its moods with timber vessels powered by sail and human muscle. Captain James Cook represented - in those places to which he voyaged - English attitudes in... Captain James Cook was a supreme navigator and explorer.

The Pacific Ocean was the setting for the last great chapter in the convergence of humankind from across the globe.

Science, Politics and Universities in Europe, 1600-1800
ISBN: 9780860787679 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book seeks to illustrate the interconnections of science and philosophy with religion and politics in the early modern period by focusing on the institutional dynamics of the university. Much of the work is devoted to one key university- that of Cambridge- and examines the major issues of the institutional setting of Newton's work, the religious and political circumstances that favoured its dissemination, and the way in which it was dealt with in the curriculum. But the author also seeks to place the problem of the role of science in the early modern university in a larger, European...
