Materials and Expertise in Early Modern Europe by Ursula Klein
It is often assumed that natural philosophy was the forerunner of early modern natural sciences. This title emphasizes the laboratories, workshops, and marketplaces as arenas where hands-on experience united with higher learning. It tells the stories of metals, gunpowder, pigments and foods, and demonstrates the practices of technical experts.
Ursula Klein is senior research scholar at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and the author of Experiment, Models, Paper Tools: Cultures of Organic Chemistry in the Nineteenth Century. E. C. Spary is a lecturer in the history of eighteenth-century medicine at the Wellcome Trust for the History of Medicine at University College, London, and the author of Utopia's Garden: French Natural History from Old Regime to Revolution.
