Hardback. Condition: New. 1st. Since 1981, the Scientific Instrument Commission has provided a forum for annual international discussion of topics close to the hearts of those caring for and researching historic scientific instruments. During these years, increasing professionalisation of curatorship and deepened engagement by h…istorians have led to important changes in these roles.This volume is a cornucopia illustrating how instrument studies have changed and flourished over the past forty years. Four chapters review the work of the Scientific Instrument Commission by decade. The remaining chapters consider the historiography of instrument studies, the cataloguing of collections, historic instruments in exhibitions and educational settings, national trends, and the impact of new media. This book includes twenty smaller, in-depth "Fingerposts", or colourfully illustrated vignettes, presenting significant artefacts selected to span the spread of historical instrumentation through time and geography. They demonstrate the variety of historical questions and thematic analyses that can be explored through close inspection of particular scientific instruments.Contributors are R.G.W. Anderson, Sara J. Schechner, Richard L. Kremer, David Pantalony, Boris Jardine, A.D. Morrison-Low, Giorgio Strano, Jean-François Gauvin, Sofia Talas, Pedro Raposo, and Floor Koeleman.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Can a scientific instrument be regarded as a failure Why and how By shedding light on the complexity of these questions, the volume marks a step forward in the way historical scientific instruments can be analysed and displayed. The essays show how diverse failures can be, and how the assessment o…f scientific devices may change over time -- some surprisingly becoming more successful. In addition to studies of how technical features led to failure, the authors examine the roles played by social bias and behaviour, commercial and economic circumstances, and political factors.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. First Edition; First Printing. Black cloth, very slightly edge rubbed, with a bit of wear at corners. In very slightly edge rubbed DJ.; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 474 pages; "This book is the third in a series of publications exploring the collections of the Adler Pla…netarium. The first two books catalogued the Adlerâs important collection of astrolabes. The first book, written in 1998 by Marjorie and Roderick Webster, explored the Adlerâs collection of Western Astrolabes. This was followed in 2009 by a book on Eastern Astrolabes by David Pingree. Time of Our Lives sheds light on another core strength of the Adlerâs collections: sundials, which are approached here not as antiquarian curiosities or just exquisite tools, but rather as historically and culturally contextualized artifacts that testify to changes in society, knowledge, aesthetics, and above all, in the deep and complex human relationship with time, which has long kept us connected to the sky above." Sara Schechner, Ph. D with The Adler Planetarium.
