The Spirit of Inquiry: How one extraordinary society shaped modern science
Gibson, Susannah (Affiliated scholar, Department of History and Philosophy of Science, Cambridge)
Despite its modest size the Cambridge Philosophical Society has played a monumental role in the history of science. To mark the bicentenary of its founding in 1819, Susannah Gibson gives a vivid account of the illustrious (and sometimes eccentric) members of the society, their breakthrough discoveries, and the forging of modern science.
