The Romance of Science pays tribute to the wide-ranging and highly
influential work of Trevor Levere, historian of science and author
of Poetry Realised in Nature, Transforming Matter, Science and the
Canadian Arctic, Affinity and Matter and other significant
inquiries in the history of modern science. Expanding on Levere's
many themes and interests, The Romance of Science assembles
historians of science -- all influenced by Levere's work -- to
explore such matters as the place and space of instruments in
science, the role and meaning of science museums, poetry in nature,
chemical warfare and warfare in nature, science in Canada and the
Arctic, Romanticism, aesthetics and morals in natural philosophy,
and the "dismal science" of economics. The Romance of Science
explores the interactions between science's romantic, material,
institutional and economic engagements with Nature.
