Extracts From Micrographia (Classic Reprint): Or Some Physiological Descriptions of Minute Bodies Made by Magnifying Glasses, With Observations and ... and Inquiries Thereupon (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Discover the world revealed by magnifying glasses and curious hands. This edition collects extracts from a landmark 17th‑century work that opened small worlds to the human eye, showing how careful observation and simple instruments can uncover the unseen in nature. From early thoughts on combustion to vivid micrographs of tiny bodies, it invites readers to see science as a practice of looking closely and asking questions.
Hooke’s Micrographia presents a vivid bridge between art and science. The reader follows practical experiments, careful descriptions, and thoughtful reflections on what these minute observations mean for our understanding of nature, matter, and light. It’s a window into a pivotal moment when the invisible became visible, and curiosity became method.
- Close-up descriptions of minute objects and surfaces, as seen through magnifying glasses and early microscopes
- Observations on sparks, flame, air, and their link to combustion and light
- Practical insights into how instruments extend our senses and reveal hidden details
- Context on the author’s approach to science and the history of experimental method
Ideal for readers of the history of science, early modern experiments, and anyone curious about how we first learned to look closer at the natural world.

Extracts From Micrographia (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating exploration of the natural world through the lens of observation and experimentation. The author, a keen observer of his time, delves into the limitations of human senses and the potential of mechanical instruments to enhance our understanding. He argues for a shift away from abstract philosophical thought and towards a more grounded, empirical approach. The book's most striking feature is its detailed examination of the process of combustion, a topic that captivated scientists and philosophers of the era. Through meticulous observations of the sparks created by striking flint and steel, the author uncovers the intricate interplay of matter, heat, and air. He challenges conventional ideas about the nature of fire, proposing that it is not an element but rather a product of the rapid interaction between a combustible substance and air. By revealing the hidden mechanisms behind seemingly simple phenomena, the author lays the groundwork for a new scientific approach that emphasizes experimentation and observation. The book's insights into the nature of combustion, along with its broader call for a more empirical philosophy, offer a glimpse into the intellectual ferment of the 17th century and foreshadow the rise of modern science. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
