The Creation of Scientific Effects : Heinrich Hertz and Electric Waves /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

This book is an attempt to reconstitute the tacit knowledge-the shared, unwritten assumptions, values, and understandings-that shapes the work of science. Jed Z. Buchwald uses as his focus the social and intellectual world of nineteenth-century German physics. Drawing on the lab notes, published pap...
