Gleanings from the bones of scientific history,
By
This review is from: A Dictionary of the History of Science (Hardcover)
A random walk through oft-forgotten pathways in history. Sebastian is to be commended for his scholarship in finding obscure and sometimes charming nuggets of details. The Dictionary seems to be a labour of love. Possibly the best known of the people mentioned might be Occam. Many of the others are now thoroughly obscure. Hard to say that the book is, or could ever be, comprehensive. But perhaps that is beside the point. It aggregates gleanings scraped off the bones of scientific history, and makes these available to us, who would otherwise have no comprehension of them. |
