John Phillips and the Business of Victorian Science
ISBN: 9781138356269 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 457 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. John Phillips was one of the most remarkable and important scientists of the Victorian period.

In his writings he assumed that science was a socially organised attempt to set and solve problems concerning the natural world, and that historians should take cognisance of everything which affected that activity - without down-grading published knowledge, its end-product. Specific topics in this volume include the...
