Reviews

Weber has given us the best anthology of nineteenth-century science available. Drawing on a wide variety of rich sources, from Paley to Dalton, Lyell, Chambers, Combe, Darwin, Pasteur, Helmholtz, Huxley, and Curie, among others, Weber opens a window onto the fascinating world of nineteenth-century science." - Bernard Lightman, Professor of Humanities, York University, and author of Victorian Science in Context (University of Chicago Press).
