Description

Explore the evolution of scientific classification in this specialized historical study from Routledge. The Language of Mineralogy focuses on John Walker, Chemistry, and the Edinburgh Medical School between 1750 and 1800. Part of the Science, Technology and Culture (1700-1945) series, this book examines how institutional settings allowed naturalists to develop complex systems of natural history. While classification is a fundamental part of science, the specific methods used during the Enlightenment have often been difficult for scholars to study. This work addresses that gap by looking at how diverse practitioners, including educators and professionals, engaged with the subject. By examining the specific practices within the Edinburgh Medical School, the text provides a clear view of how natural history was organized and taught during this transformative era of British social and urban history.
