- Beautiful experiments : an illustrated history of experimental science / by Ball, Philip,1962-author.(CARDINAL)207976;
Chapter One. How does the world work? -- Interlude one: What is an experiment? -- Chapter Two. What makes things happen? -- Interlude two: The impact of new techniques -- Chapter Three. What is the world made from? -- Interlude three: What is a beautiful experiment? -- Chapter Four. What is light? -- Interlude four: The art of scientific instrumentation -- Chapter Five. What is life? -- Interlude five: Thought experiments -- Chapter Six. How do organisms behave?"This illustrated history of experimental science is more than just a celebration of the ingenuity that scientists and natural philosophers have used throughout the ages to study-and to change-the world. Here we see in exquisite detail experiments that have, in some way or another, exhibited elegance and beauty: in their design, their conception, and their execution. Famed science writer Philip Ball invites readers to marvel at and to admire the craftsmanship in scientific instruments and apparatus on display. With Ball as expert guide, readers will be encouraged to think carefully about what experiments are, what they mean, and how they are used. This wide-ranging book explains how we came to understand the ways in which the world works and what it contains, while demonstrating why "experiment" remains a contested notion in understanding how science works."--- Subjects: Illustrated works.; Science; Science;
