Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In this book, the authors investigate an array of instruments from the 17th to the 19th century that seem at first to be marginal to science - magnetic clocks that were said to operate by the movements of sunflower seeds, ocular harpsichords (machines that played different coloured lights in harmonious mixtures), Aeolian harps (a form of wind chime), and other instruments of "natural magic" designed to produce wonderous effects. By looking at these, and the first recording instruments, the stereoscope and speaking machines, they show that "scientific instruments" first made their appearance as devices used to evoke wonder in the beholder, as in works of magic and the theatre. The authors also demonstrate that these instruments, even though they were often tricks, were seen by their inventors as more than trickery. In the view of Athanasius Kircher, for instance, the sunflower clock was not merely a hoax, but an effort to demonstrate, however fraudulently, his truly held belief that the ability of a flower to follow the sun was due to the same cosmic magnetic influence as that which moved the planets and caused the rotation of the earth. The mechanical marvels revealed in this work. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Zustand: as new. Baltimore : Johns Hopkins University Press, 1980. Paperback. xxi, 474 pp. illustrations. 24 cm. - One of the most imaginative mathematicians of the nineteenth century, Sir William Rowan Hamilton (1805-1865) changed the course of modern algebra with his discovery of quaternions in 1843. Although Hamilton's work was largely theoretical, his ideas came to have invaluable practical applications with the advent of quantum mechanics in the twentieth century. In this acclaimed biography, Thomas L. Hankins brings together the many aspects of Hamilton's life and work-from his significant contributions to mathematics, optics, and mechanics to his passion for metaphysics, poetry, and politics-fully portraying the brilliant man whose faith and idealism guided him in everything he did. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9780801869730. Keywords : MATHEMATICS, Hamilton, William Rowan (1805-1865).
