Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Creative Knowledge; Old Trades and New Science' explores the fascinating evolution of fundamental human industries through the lens of scientific advancement. Written by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Sir William Henry Bragg, this work delves into the history and transformation of six foundational trades: the sailor, the smith, the weaver, the dyer, the potter, and the miner. Bragg masterfully illustrates how ancient crafts, once guided by tradition and trial-and-error, have been revolutionized by the application of physics, chemistry, and modern engineering. Through engaging prose, the author highlights the 'creative knowledge' that drives human progress, revealing the hidden science behind everyday materials and processes-from the navigation of the seas to the molecular structure of textiles and ceramics. The text serves as a testament to the symbiotic relationship between manual skill and intellectual inquiry, celebrating the ingenuity that bridges the gap between old-world craftsmanship and the technological wonders of the modern era.
