In this book the diverse objects of the Whipple Museum of the
History of Science's internationally renowned collection are
brought into sharp relief by a number of highly regarded historians
of science in fourteen essays. Each chapter focuses on a specific
instrument or group of objects, ranging from an English medieval
astrolabe to a modern agricultural 'seed source indicator' to a
curious collection of plaster chicken heads. The contributors
employ a range of historiographical and methodological approaches
to demonstrate the various ways in which the material culture of
science can be researched and understood. The essays show how the
study of scientific objects - including instruments and models -
offers a window into cultures of scientific practice not afforded
by textual sources alone. This title is also available as Open
Access on Cambridge Core.
