About This Item
London: Little, Brown and Company, 1999. 1st ed. . Dark Red Cloth. Fine/Fine-. 15.5 Cms x 24 Cms. illustrated across pastedowns/endpapers+xx+444, numerous text ills throughout; virtually pristine in unclipped jacket marred only by slight sunfading to spine, a few hints of edge-rubbing and spots of surface sheen loss only visible at an angle (will add protective sleeve when ordered). Highly acclaimed contextualized account of the English 'scientific revolution' with coverage of all the main - and many minor - dramatis personae, plus the Royal Society; pp.366-392 have short biographical note on the 'Cast of Characters' from Ashmole to Wren.
