Science and Sound in Nineteenth-Century Britain: Philosophies and Epistemologies of Sound de Edward J. Gillin

Science and Sound in Nineteenth-Century Britain: Philosophies and Epistemologies of Sound: Nineteenth-Century Science, Technology and Medicine: Sources and Documents

Editat de Edward J. Gillin
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 dec 2023
Science and Sound in Nineteenth-Century Britain is a four-volume set of primary sources which seeks to define our historical understanding of the relationship between British scientific knowledge and sound between 1815 and 1900. In the context of rapid urbanization and industrialization, as well as a growing overseas empire, Britain was home to a rich scientific culture in which the ear was as valuable an organ as the eye for examining nature. Experiments on how sound behaved informed new understandings of how a diverse array of natural phenomena operated, notably those of heat, light, and electro-magnetism. In nineteenth-century Britain, sound was not just a phenomenon to be studied, but central to the practice of science itself and broader understandings over nature and the universe. This collection, accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, will be of great interest to students and scholars of the History of Science.
