Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: New. Early Reprint. Essex, Icon Books, 2003. Reprint. 8vo. Paperback with pictorial cover, 177 pp. "The poet Percy Bysshe Shelley was fascinated by scientific experiments," writes Patricia Fara in the Introduction to this tale of the strange birth of electrical science, and its emergence from a high-society party trick to a symbol of man's dominance over nature. Fara writes of Benjamin Franklin, of course, but also of possibly lesser-known personnages in such chapters as "Robert Boyle and the Air-pump," "Francis Hauksbee and the Electrical Machine," "Henry and the Torpedo," and "Luigi Balvani and his Frogs." "Vividly captures the ferment created by the new science of the Enlightenment, Fara deftly shows how new knowledge emerged from a rich mix of improved technology, medical quackery, Continental theorizing, religious doubt and scientific rivalry."-New Scientist.
