Item description from seller

21 x 26cm 192pp good paperback, lower corners slightly bumpe, a small dent to lower edge of front cover. In the early modern period, the links between aesthetics and the natural sciences were close. Wunderkammern, libraries, and cabinets of experimental philosophy, physics, or mathematics were built and decorated with references to classical and contemporary learning alike, for practical as well as aesthetic reasons. In this book the early modern urge for knowledge, power, and control, and ultimately the relation between art and science, are illuminated and problematised through detailed analyses and specific examples, especially from Sweden. Buildings, interiors, and objects intended to visualise learning are part of our material heritage. Both as a scholar at Stockholm University and as director of the Stockholm Observatory Museum, Inga Elmqvist S?derlund was deeply committed to preserving and sharing this heritage. Colour plus black and white reproductions illustrate parts of the text.
