A World of New Ideas, 16501820 - Welsh Scientists of the Long Eighteenth Century, Volume 1: The Isles

Synthesizes Welsh history of science during the long eighteenth century.

'" World of New Ideas" 1650The Isles--centers on the contribution made in Wales particularly but also includes England, Scotland, and Ireland. By presenting a synthesis of published material and original research in three sections (Theory, Practice, and Results), its chapters examine how Welsh contributions fit into the history of science developed from the quasi-magical worlds of alchemy and early chemistry, through the advent of Cartesian and Newtonian science, to the world of technological innovation and industrial development.
