This review is from: Science In The Making: Volume Two: 1850-1900 (Hardcover)
Perhaps the most crucial excerpts from the Philosophical Magazine given here are those discussing evolution, the periodic table and electromagnetism. In the period 1850-1900, these may have been the most important ideas in biology, chemistry and physics. The names of those key scientists are now august, and several wrote the excerpts, and others were mentioned in other articles. This book gives the high tide of 19th century science. A treat for the reader to go back to some original sources. For American readers, what may also be striking is how little impact the US had in these pages. During that time, the US was still playing catch up to the Europeans. (Something it would not achieve for another 40 years.) |
