Nature, Experiment, and the Sciences: Essays on Galileo and the History of Science in Honour of Stillman Drake
ISBN: 9789401073387 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This collection of essays is a tribute to Stillman Drake by some of his friends and colleagues, and by others on whom his work has had a formative influence. It is difficult to know him without succumbing to his combination of discipline and enthusiasm, even in fields remote from Renaissance physics and natural philosophy; and so he should not be surprised in this volume to see emphases and methods congenial to him, even on topics as remote as Darwin or the chemical revolution. Therein lies whatever unity the discerning reader may find in this book, beyond the natural focus and coherence of...

Levere examines the dynamic rise of chemistry from the study of alchemy in the seventeenth century to the...

Poetry Realized in Nature: Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Early Nineteenth-Century Science
ISBN: 9780521524902 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Poetry Realized in Nature shows Coleridge's method at work and, more generally, explores German philosophical science, Naturphilosophie, and the relations between science and romantic thought. It combines a biographical approach with intellectual history, reconstructing Coleridge's imaginative enterprise across the whole range of the physical and life sciences. Coleridge strove for coherence in all realms of thought, and so the ways in which he explored scientific ideas illuminate all aspects of his inquiring spirit. He sought self-knowledge, which required a knowledge of man and mind in...

Chemists and Chemistry in Nature and Society, 1770-1878
ISBN: 9780860784128 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the 18th century chemistry established itself as both an autonomous and a public science, moving from mining and medicine into agriculture and geology, indeed into the entire material and cultural fabric of society. This chemical revolution had its epicentre in France, but quickly spread. The present volume looks at theoretical and practical aspects of that revolution in France and The Netherlands, then turns to Britain, where Thomas Beddoes mixed French chemistry, medicine, and democratic politics. With the 19th century, Humphrey Davy, emerging from Beddoesa s Pneumatic Institution (from...

The Enlightenment of Thomas Beddoes: Science, Medicine, and Reform
ISBN: 9781472488299 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Thomas Beddoes (1760-1808) lived in decidedly interesting times in which established orders in politics and science were challenged by revolutionary new ideas. Enthusiastically participating in the heady atmosphere of Enlightenment debate, Beddoes' career suffered from his radical views on politics and science. Denied a professorship at Oxford, he set up a medical practice in Bristol in 1793. Six years later - with support from a range of leading industrialists and scientists including the Wedgwoods, Erasmus Darwin, James Watt, James Keir and others associated with the Lunar Society - he...
