Exotic plants and animals poured into London from all corners of the empire, while revolutionary theories such as the idea that humans might be descended from apes drew crowds to heated debates. Victorian Science in Context captures the essence of this fascination, charting the many ways in which science influenced and was influenced by the larger Victorian culture. Leading scholars in history, literature, and the history of science explore questions such as, What did science mean to the Victorians? For whom was Victorian science written? What ideological messages did it convey? The contributors show how the practical side of science, such as the choice of particular instruments an the manner of measurement, indeed the entire laboratory setup, interacted with the social and cultural context to mold Victorian science. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 1800 - 1899|2fast 650 0 Science|zGreat Britain|xHistory|y19th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010112207 650 7 Science.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1108176 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919811 651 0 Great Britain|xSocial conditions|y19th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85056943 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 0 Electronic books|xHistory. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books|xHistory. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 Lightman, Bernard V.,|d1950-|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n83065965 776 08 |iPrint version:|tVictorian science in context.|dChicago, Ill. : University of Chicago Press, 1997|z0226481115 |w(DLC) 97020789|w(OCoLC)36865757 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=353110|zOnline eBook.
