Reviews

Different facets of Boyle are revealed in successive papers and continually reflect upon other facets revealed in other papers. The result... a brilliant and fascinating gem. MEDICAL HISTORY Will attract wide interest among specialists in Restoration intellectual history. HISTORY Based on his intimate familiarity with the massive Boyle archive, Hunter draws...a portrait of a rather dysfunctional individual, afflicted with religious and moral doubts, very unlike the poised and purposeful scientist portrayed by historians... These essays introduce us to a far more complex - and engrossing - individual and force us to reconsider the nature of science during the early modern period. AMERICAN SCIENTIST Generally excellent collection.
