Описание: By the late eighteenth century, scientists had discovered certain types of gas, such as `fixed air` (carbon dioxide), but their composition was little understood. This three-volume collection presents groundbreaking investigations into gases. Volume 2 (second edition, 1776) includes data on what Priestley`s calls `dephlogisticated air` (oxygen).

Описание: This book examines the transformation of specialized biomedical knowledge into an influential cultural resource that facilitated the establishment of large specialized institutions, inspired numerous science-fiction stories, displaced religious beliefs, and gave the millennia-old dream of immortality new forms and new meanings in Bolshevik Russia.

Описание: This 1769 work brings together published and unpublished letters both from and to Benjamin Franklin, which demonstrate the range of his interests. The letters show a lively transatlantic group of scientific friends and colleagues describing their experiments, interpreting each others` results, and theorizing on all aspects of the natural world.
Описание: Sir Charles William Pasley (1780-1861) wrote on matters ranging from military sieges to architecture. In this work, first published in 1838, he outlines the experimentally determined properties of various building materials, with a view to their practical application. The work led to the large-scale manufacture of several artificial cements.
Описание: By the early nineteenth century, it was widely accepted that gravity varied at different points across the Earth`s surface, and that the Earth could not be perfectly spherical. This 1825 work documents the groundbreaking experiments of Edward Sabine (1788-1883), the first physicist to produce accurate measurements of this ellipticity.

Описание: Finding previous attempts to be incomplete, John Williams (1797-1874) sought to catalogue and translate the comet observations recorded by Chinese astronomers over two millennia. This 1871 publication also includes chronological tables and a Chinese celestial atlas, enabling comparison between the Chinese and Western systems for dates and stars.

Описание: This collection focuses on different expeditions and their role in the process of knowledge acquisition from the eighteenth century onwards. It investigates various forms of scientific practice conducted during, after and before expeditions, and it places this discussion into the scientific context of experiments. In treating expeditions as experiments in a heuristic sense, we also propose that the expedition is a variation on the laboratory in which different practices can be conducted and where the transformation of uncertain into certain knowledge is tested. The experimental positioning of the expedition brings together an ensemble of techniques, strategies, material agents and social actors, and illuminates the steps leading from observation to facts and documentation. The chapters show the variety of scientific interests that motivated expeditions with their focus on natural history, geology, ichthyology, botany, zoology, helminthology, speleology, physical anthropology, oceanography, meteorology and magnetism.
Описание: From Lucretius throwing a spear beyond the boundary of the universe to Einstein racing against a beam of light, thought experiments stand as a fascinating challenge to the necessity of data in the empirical sciences. Are these experiments, conducted uniquely in our imagination, simply rhetorical devices or communication tools or are they an essential part of scientific practice? This volume surveys the current state of the debate and explores new avenues of research into the epistemology of thought experiments.
