Book Description
Excerpt from The Progress of Physics, During 33 Years (1875-1908) In writing out these lectures which were delivered nearly three years ago, I have made a few additions, in order to bring the subjects to their position at the present time. Personal opinions have been influenced in some cases by subsequent researches or by maturer reflexion. All such expressions of opinion must therefore be considered as indicating my present attitude rather than that taken up at the time of the lectures. Their scope and aim has been sufficiently indicated in the opening passages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Making of Modern Science
Author: David Knight
Publisher: Polity
ISBN: 0745636764
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Of all the inventions of the nineteenth century, the scientist is one of the most striking. In revolutionary France the science student, taught by men active in research, was born; and a generation later, the graduate student doing a PhD emerged in Germany. In 1833 the word ‘scientist’ was coined; forty years later science (increasingly specialised) was a becoming a profession. Men of science rivalled clerics and critics as sages; they were honoured as national treasures, and buried in state funerals. Their new ideas invigorated the life of the mind. Peripatetic congresses, great exhibitions, museums, technical colleges and laboratories blossomed; and new industries based on chemistry and electricity brought prosperity and power, economic and military. Eighteenth-century steam engines preceded understanding of the physics underlying them; but electric telegraphs and motors were applied science, based upon painstaking interpretation of nature. The ideas, discoveries and inventions of scientists transformed the world: lives were longer and healthier, cities and empires grew, societies became urban rather than agrarian, the local became global. And by the opening years of the twentieth century, science was spreading beyond Europe and North America, and women were beginning to be visible in the ranks of scientists. Bringing together the people, events, and discoveries of this exciting period into a lively narrative, this book will be essential reading both for students of the history of science and for anyone interested in the foundations of the world as we know it today.
