{"product_id":"experiencing-nature-p-theerman-9780792344773","title":"Experiencing Nature: Proceedings of a Conference in Honor of Allen G. Debus","description":"This volume, honoring the renowned historian of science, Allen G Debus, explores ideas of science -  experiences of nature' - from within a historiographical tradition that Debus has done much to define. As his work shows, the sciences do not develop exclusively as a result of a progressive and inexorable logic of discovery. A wide variety of extra-scientific factors, deriving from changing intellectual contexts and differing social millieus, play crucial roles in the overall development of scientific thought. These essays represent case studies in a broad range of scientific settings - from sixteenth-century astronomy and medicine, through nineteenth-century biology and mathematics, to the social sciences in the twentieth-century - that show the impact of both social settings and the cross-fertilization of ideas on the formation of science. Aimed at a general audience interested in the history of science, this book closes with Debus's personal perspective on the development of the field. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eAudience: \u003c\/em\u003e This book will appeal especially to historians of science, of chemistry, and of medicine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e P.
