Recenzii
’This is an excellent collection. Perhaps the bringing together of these assessments of this undoubtedly great figure in the history of science will prove the turning point in Harriot studies.’ British Journal for the History of Science ’...the essays collected in this volume provide an excellent overview of an enigmatic figure.’ Sixteenth Century Journal 'This volume...will be welcomed by anyone interested in Harriot and his world....(the essays) make definite contributions to our knowledge of Harriot's milieu - the ideas and people he encountered...' ISIS ’This volume is a work of the highest scholarly standard, yet each of the essays is beautifully written and easily accessible to the non-specialist. It brings to life not only Harriot himself, but also the world in which he lived.’ Astronomy Now
Descriere
This volume assembles ten studies of the life and work of Thomas Harriot (1560-1621). These are based on lectures that have been given annually at Oriel College, Oxford since 1990, by such authorities as Hugh Trevor Roper, David Quinn and John D. North. The contributions to Thomas Harriot. An Elizabethan man of science shed new light on all the main aspects of Harriot’s life and stand as an important contribution to the re-evaluation of one of the most gifted and intriguing figures in early modern British science.
