First edition 1999. xx+444 pages. Illustrated in colour and black and white. Cloth. Very good in price-clipped dustjacket with some sunning to the red spine. Today the 'two cultures' - art and science - have come to be treated as fundamentally opposed. Scientific research is castigated for its inhumane methods and lack of moral responsibility, while art is treated as an enduring source of essential guidance to society's spiritual well-being. As Lisa Jardine makes clear in this remarkable book, this is a distinction which is both artificial and historically inaccurate. The intellectual revolution of the seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries was the single most formative event in Western history, bringing together the humanities and natural sciences in an unprecedented ferment of conceptual and practical creativity. Lisa Jardine documents the forces for change which brought the human and natural sciences together and gave them shape. Each of her series of key components - among them, precise time measurement, enhanced astronomical observation, selective animal and plant breeding, and technological advances in navigation - lays a crucial part of the foundations for modern thought. She brilliantly illuminates the practice of science, its impact on the emerging modern world, and its continuing relevance to society. Ask to see our other Science titles.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 444 pages. minor wear, faded spineToday the two cultures of art and science have come to be treated as fundame ntally opposed, their aims incompatible. In this remarkable book, Lisa Jardine m akes clear that this distinction is both artificial and historically inaccurate. The intellectual revolution of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries w as the single most formative event in Western history, bringing together the hum anities and natural sciences in an unprecedented ferment of conceptual and pract ical inventiveness. Isaac Newton was as fascinated with the chemical processes i nvolved in the transmutation of metals as he was with the movements of the plane ts. John Locke was as keen a physician and botanist as he was a philosopher. Chr istopher Wren pursued anatomical dissections and early blood transfusion with th e same vigor as he did architecture. These men - among others - opened their min ds to the widest possible influences, allowing for huge and brilliant leaps of i magination, for the ingenuity, quick-wittedness, lateral thinking, and inspired guesswork that we now associate with the humanities, not the sciences. But what unified their activities was a genius for technological innovation, for combinin g the workings of the hand and the brain in one continuous creative process. And it is this that marks the emergence of a distinctive, modern Western Intellectu al Tradition. Ingenious Pursuits focuses on a series of virtuoso advancements - among them the discovery of the circulation of blood, the perfection of the mech anical clock, enhanced astronomical observation, fundamental developments in mat hematics, selective animal and plant breeding, and the development of chemical s ubstance analysis - that transformed the thinking of the early modern world and. …
