Monsters, gems that shone in the dark, petrifying springs, celestial apparitions -- these were the marvels that adorned romances, puzzled philosophers, lured collectors, and frightened the devout. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on the histories of art, science, philosophy, and literature, Lorraine Daston and Katharine Park explore and explain how wonder and wonders fortified princely power, rewove the texture of scientific experience, and shaped the sensibility of intellectuals. This is a history of the passions of inquiry, of how wonder sometimes inflamed, sometimes dampened curiosity about nature's best-kept secrets. Refracted through the prism of wonders, the order of nature splinters into a spectrum of orders, a tour of possible worlds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lorraine Daston, Katharine Park\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0942299914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780942299915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zone Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 7.30w x 1.70d","brand":"Lorraine Daston","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052226081023,"sku":"9780942299915","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_35b5d94b-0586-4726-89c0-c7b9afeaacd0.jpg?v=1685017634","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wonders-and-the-order-of-lorraine-daston-9780942299915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
