The Creation of Color in Eighteenth-Century Europe by Sarah Lowengard
This is a book about the organization of science and technology in eighteenth-century Europe, about the relationships of each to the other and to the worlds in which they existed. The underlying theme is the collection and arrangement of information, and the subsequent employment of that information to create a place for its collector—a person or occasionally an institution—within the modern world of the eighteenth century. Colloquially expressed, it is a study of contemporary answers to a question—"What do you think you're doing?"—asked of institutions and governments as well as individuals. http://www.gutenberg-e.org/lowengard/index.html _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
