Product Information
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.

"Gibson has thoroughly filleted the archives and she tells a richly fascinating history. Her book is an excellent example of everything that public outreach should be: accessibly priced, informative, and entertaining." -- Ann Kennedy Smith, Times Literary Supplement"A vivid, deeply researched intellectual history." -- Kirkus"Reviewing a great book is much like witnessing a blue moon, infrequent but captivating.
