Science and Culture in the Nineteenth Century
Editor: Bernard Lightman, York University
An
era of exciting and transformative scientific discoveries, the
nineteenth century was also a period when significant features of the
relationship between contemporary science and culture first assumed
form. This book series includes studies of major developments within the
disciplines—including geology, biology, botany, astronomy, physics,
chemistry, medicine, technology, and mathematics—as well as themes
within the social sciences, natural philosophy, natural history, the
alternative sciences, and popular science. In addition, books in the
series may examine science in relation to one or more of its many
contexts, including literature, politics, religion, class, gender,
colonialism and imperialism, material culture, and visual and print
culture.
