| Description: |
An examination of the 19th century as the most formative period of scientific discovery, when scientific ideas dominated thought and arguments became as characteristic of science as they had been of philosophy. |
| Synopsis: |
The author examines the pervading atmosphere of the 19th century when arguments became as characteristic of science as they had been of philosophy - arguments between scientists and theologians about evolution, between British and French about chemistry and astronomy, between Germans and British about taxonomy, between scientists, sceptics and even between scientific associations. |
