520 8  The well-illustrated articles in Observing the World 
       through Images offer insights into the uses of images in 
       astronomy, mathematics, instrument-making, medicine and 
       alchemy, highlighting shared forms as well as those 
       peculiar to individual disciplines. Themes addressed 
       include: the processes of image production and 
       communication; the transformation of images through 
       copying and adaptation for new purposes; genres and 
       traditions of imagery in particular scientific 
       disciplines; the mnemonic and pedagogical value of 
       diagrams; the relationship between text and image; and the
       roles of diagrams as tools to think with.
