Thornton and Tully's Scientific Books, Libraries, and Collectors
Author: John Leonard Thornton
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
In the 25 years since the third edition of this book, scientific publishing has developed new forms and the academic discipline and popular appreciation of the history of science has grown. This edition discusses these changes and ponders the implications of developments in publishing by the end of the 20th century, while concentrating upon the dissemination of scientific ideas and knowledge from antiquity to the industrial age. In this shift of focus, it departs from previous editions and for the first time, a chapter on Islamic science is included.

Isaac Newton and the Temple of Solomon
Author: Tessa Morrison
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476625131
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Isaac Newton published little but wrote hundreds of manuscripts, the bulk of them on alchemy, prophecy and theology. His writings on the Temple of Solomon have widely been thought to have been written in old age or possibly after a nervous breakdown in 1693. In fact, his study of the Temple spanned more than fifty years. This book examines Newton's work in the context of his times, when the Temple was a popular subject for academics, and models were displayed to the general public. The author provides insight into Newton's writings in Latin on Solomon's Temple, along with a model reconstructed from his interpretation of its structure, symmetry and proportional elegance.

Extensively researched, this book traces the life and work of Abraham De Moivre as well as the state of probability and statistics in eighteenth-century Britain.
