"He did not invent the camera obscura, but he is the first to report adding a concave lens to the aperture. He also juxtaposed concave and convex lenses and reports various experiments with them. His comparison of the lens in the camera obscura to the pupil in the human eye did provide an easily understandable demonstration that the source of visual images lay outside the eye as well as outside the darkened room."

Madison:: University of Wisconsin Press, 1994., 1994. 8vo. ix, [3], 277, [1] pp. Index. Pictorial wrappers. Near fine. ISBN: 0299143546 "In his famous lecture on "The Two Cultures," C.P. Snow argued that the modern intellectual gulf between writers and artists on the one hand, scientists and engineers on the other, had its roots in the nineteenth century. Jonathan Smith challenges that view by examining the cultural debate about scientific method in nineteenth-century Britain. Focusing on the status of Francis Bacon and his inductive methodology, Smith shows that literary figures were involved, both directly and indirectly, in the effort to construct a methodology that would serve both science and literature by bringing together fact and feeling, reason and imagination. Smith opens with a historical overview of the debate that includes such figures as Samuel Coleridge, John Herschel, William Whewell, J.S. Mill, Thomas Macaulay, G.H. Lewes, John Tyndall, Stanley Jevons, and Karl Pearson. Then, in a…

ISBN: 0631146857 Subtitle: Fraud and error in science and medicine. "Did Newton fudge his figures? Who counted Mendel's peas? What lay behind Cyril Burt's disturbing statistics on race and intelligence? Fraud can take many forms. Plagiarism, forgery, suppression of the truth :: all these can be conscious and calculating, inspired by ambition, prejudice, even greed. Or it can be clumsy and negligent . . . Whatever the reasons, the stories of the frauds and errors that punctuate the history of science make fascinating reading. FALSE PROPHETS chronicles the famous frauds - from Piltdown man to the Hitler diaries - and unearths some lesser-known incidents buried in the scientific literature. Taking examples from all areas of science and medicine as well as anthropology, archaeology and psychology the author explores the deceivers' motives and discusses the…
