商品簡介
This history of Danish science is an English translation and condensation of a four-volume set published in 2005 and 2006 as the result of a research project conducted by staff of the Department of Science Studies at the U. of Aarhus. Divided into four parts reflecting eras of the development of science in Denmark, the authors discuss medieval scholarship, the time of astronomer Tycho Brahe, contributions to natural history, chemistry, and exploration, as well as culture, education, peaks in Danish university research, and pure and applied science outside the universities. The book is based in part on new research, but also relies on existing literature in the field. This book is both well researched and well written and provides an excellent context for readers interested in learning more about Danish science. Author Kragh and other contributors are affiliated with the U. of Aarhus. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
