The Age of Wonder is a colorful and utterly absorbing history of the men and women whose discoveries and inventions at the end of the eighteenth century gave birth to the Romantic Age of Science.
When young Joseph Banks stepped onto a Tahitian beach in 1769, he hoped to discover Paradise. Inspired by the scientific ferment sweeping through Britain, the botanist had sailed with Captain Cook in search of new worlds. Other voyages of discovery—astronomical, chemical, poetical, philosophical—swiftly follow in Richard Holmes's thrilling evocation of the second scientific revolution. Through the lives of William Herschel and his sister Caroline, who forever changed the public conception of the solar system; of Humphry Davy, whose near-suicidal gas experiments revolutionized chemistry; and of the great Romantic writers, from Mary Shelley to Coleridge and Keats, who were inspired by the scientific breakthroughs of their day, Holmes brings to life the era in which we first realized both the awe-inspiring and the frightening possibilities of science—an era whose consequences are with us still.
我挺喜歡這本書的,尤其Hershel兄妹那幾章。上課時老師不斷強調這是本trade book trade book trade book, 把它與學術著作分得很開,我不否認這本書受到其目標受眾的限製,但至少我所追求的所謂學術,沒有這麼嚴格的專業與科普的界限,這種界限抹滅的恰是amateur所體現的對事物本真的熱愛,而這種熱愛也恰是the age of wonder中所有主人公的共性。

評分算是一本科普讀物,不過作者除此之外寫的是柯勒律治和雪萊的傳記。。。但是寫得確實好看
評分浪漫主義時期的科學史,牛頓以後的科學發展狀況。講述herschel和humphry davy的章節尤其齣彩。
