Description
Key Features
Explores eighteenth-century European public demonstrations featuring air-pumps, electrical machines, and mechanical planetariums as instruments of education and entertainment.
Examines how Enlightenment-era scientific instruments served multiple purposes including investigative experiments, didactic demonstrations, and popular spectacular shows.
Part of the Science, Technology and Culture, 1700-1945 series published by Routledge, offering scholarly historical analysis of this transformative period.
Investigates the diverse contexts where natural philosophy was cultivated, from public venues to private settings, shaping modern scientific practice.
Demonstrates how eighteenth-century science blended spectacle with serious inquiry, using devices like hot-air balloons and magic mirrors to inspire public wonder.
