Good Complete two-volume set of Abraham Wolf’s substantial history of scientific, technological, and philosophical development during the eighteenth century. Revised by historian of science D. McKie, the work surveys the period’s advances in mathematics, mechanics, astronomy, physics, meteorology, geography, chemistry, biology, medicine, psychology, economics, philosophy, agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, mining, metallurgy, and other technical fields. Published as part of the Harper Torchbooks Science Library, with Volume I designated TB 539 and Volume II TB 540. Both volumes retain their striking matching illustrated wrappers designed by Guy Fleming. The set is profusely illustrated, with 172 illustrations noted for Volume I and 173 illustrations for Volume II. Condition: Good. Both volumes show considerable exterior age and handling wear. Wrappers have overall toning, rubbing, scattered spotting and soiling, occasional staining, edge wear, and creasing. Corners are bumped, softened, and in places curled or chipped. Spine edges and ends are rubbed, with small areas of surface loss and short tears; the upper wrapper edges lift slightly in places. Text-block edges are noticeably age-toned. Interior pages shown are generally clean and legible with moderate toning. No ownership inscriptions or extensive markings are visible in the photographed pages. Bindings remain intact in the photographed openings. Please review all photographs for the most accurate representation of condition. An extensive and still useful scholarly reference on the intellectual and technological history of the Enlightenment. The complete matching two-volume Harper Torchbook set is considerably more desirable than either volume offered separately, particularly with both Guy Fleming illustrated covers present. Carefully packed and shipped by KC Midwest Books. Domestic orders generally ship by USPS Media Mail unless another service is requested. International shipping is available; additional postage may be required for overseas orders. Returns accepted in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy. SCI 2b.…
