FOR HISTORY OF SCIENCERobert Hooke (1635--1703) is best known for
his Micrographia, which combined an exposition of the findings of
the microscopewith speculations on a variety of scientific topics.

ingenuity and skill in inventing and refining scientific
instruments, clocks and other technological devices.
