The Scottish Enlightenment had seen a striking blossoming of the natural sciences, with the development of a distinctive and influential national scientific culture. \u003cbr\u003eThe natural philosopher David Brewster was educated in Edinburgh amidst the intellectual ferment of the late Enlightenment but lived to end his days as a grand old man of Victorian science. This book uses the long and eventful career of Brewster as a lens through which to explore themes of rupture and continuity in Scottish scientific culture in a period of dramatic social and political change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Jenkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399528564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399528566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Bill Jenkins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46199248257279,"sku":"9781399528566","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_269df935-288d-4963-9a2f-b9add217fc15.jpg?v=1727925494","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/david-brewster-and-the-culture-bill-jenkins-9781399528566","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
