Review Early Biographies Of Isaac Newton: 1660-1885 / Pickering Publications:Academic - History Of Science - Biography; This edition is the first thorough-going edited collection of the many biographies of Newton, and demonstrates the way in which his reputation continued to develop in the centuries after his death. Sir Isaac Newton was one of the towering figures of British science during his lifetime and for generations to follow. His life and works inspired many to write his biography, and a body of biographical material began to emerge that was added to over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Not all of the writings were published however, and those that went into print are often rare and hard for today's academics to come by. This edition from Pickering & Chatto is the first thorough-going edited collection of the many biographies of Newton, and demonstrates the way in which his reputation continued to develop in the centuries after his death. The first volume contains a group of manuscripts from the early eighteenth century, appearing here in print for the first time. Also included in Volume 1 is a range of private letters, poetry and memoranda. The second volume is based on nineteenth century texts which deal with the debate over Newton's reputation, his scientific work and personal life. Many of the texts in this edition are being published or re-published for the first time and are little known outside a few specialist libraries. In all cases the editors of this edition use original manuscripts as copy-text wherever possible in order to eliminate editorial idiosyncrasies introduced by the primary editors.

Review Correspondence of Dr. William Hunter / Pickering & Chatto Publishers:The final work by the late historian Helen Brock, this definitive new edition makes the correspondence of Dr William Hunter (1718-83) available for the first time. Born in Scotland, William Hunter pursued an extensive medical education in Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and Paris. He settled in London where he made his name as an anatomist and obstetrician before being elected to the Royal Society in 1767. He was a knowledgeable collector. He bequeathed his anatomical and pathological preparations, natural history specimens, antiquities, paintings, and extensive library to the University of Glasgow where they now form the Hunterian Museum. Hunter's admiration for Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical drawings in the Royal Collection sparked the eighteenth century fashion for collecting his works on paper. Hunter's prominent position in London's scientific and artistic circles, his extensive medical and connoisseurial contacts in Scotland and Europe, and his network of students, make his correspondence a unique record of the Enlightenment. This edition presents all of his known correspondence, drawing upon archives around the world. The letters are presented chronologically and interspersed with new editorial material to create a fascinating narrative about this important era of medical and scientific discovery.

Review A Catalog of the Edward C. Atwater Collection of American Popular Medicine and Health Reform: Volumes One and Two / University of Rochester Press:This is a catalogue of the Edward C. Atwater collection of rare books dealing with 'popular medicine' in early American which is housed at the University of Rochester Medical School library. The books described in the catalogue were written by physicians and other professionals to provide information for the non-medical audience. The books taught human anatomy, hygiene, temperance and diet, how to maintain health, and how to cope with illness especially when no professional help was available. The books promoted a healthy lifestyle for the readers, giving guidance on everything from physical fitness and recreation to the special health needs of women. The collection consists of works dealing with reproduction (from birth control to delivering and caring for a baby), venereal disease, home-nursing, epidemics, and the need for public sex education. These books, covering areas largely ignored by the medical profession, made important contributions to the health of the American public, and the collection is a vital piece of medical history. The collector is Edward C. Atwater, professor emeritus of medicine and the history of medicine at the University of Rochester Medical School. Christopher Hoolihan is History of Medicine Librarian at the University of Rochester Medical School's Edward G. [+]Miner Library.

Review The Biographical Encyclopedia of Ancient Natural Sciences / Routledge:"The Encyclopedia of Ancient Natural Scientists" is the first comprehensive English language work to provide a survey of all ancient natural science, from its beginnings through the end of Late Antiquity. A team of over 100 of the world's experts in the field have compiled this 'Encyclopedia', including entries which are not mentioned in any other reference work - resulting in a unique and hugely ambitious resource which will prove indispensable for anyone seeking the details of the history of ancient science. Additional features include a 'Glossary, Gazetteer', and 'Time-Line'. The Glossary explains many Greek (or Latin) terms difficult to translate, whilst the Gazetteer describes the many locales from which scientists came. The Time-Line shows the rapid rise in the practice of science in the 5th century BCE and rapid decline after Hadrian, due to the centralization of Roman power, with consequent loss of a context within which science could flourish.
