具体描述
In Inventing Temperature, Chang takes a historical and philosophical approach to examine how scientists were able to use scientific method to test the reliability of thermometers; how they measured temperature beyond the reach of thermometers; and how they came to measure the reliability and accuracy of these instruments without a circular reliance on the instruments themselves. Chang discusses simple epistemic and technical questions about these instruments, which in turn lead to more complex issues about the solutions that were developed.

可能是因为涉及太多历史细节，这个书读着真的枯燥，但是后来听到作者给的讲座却令人意外地生动有趣。不知道为什么写作风格和讲座风格差异这么大？
