A Cultural History of Chemistry in the Nineteenth Century covers the period from 1815 to 1914 and the birth of modern chemistry. The elaboration of atomic theory - and new ideas of periodicity, structure, bonding, and equilibrium - emerged in tandem with new instruments and practices. The chemical industry expanded exponentially, fuelled by an increasing demand for steel, aluminium, dyestuffs, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. And the chemical laboratory became established in its two distinct modern settings of the university and industry. At the turn of the century, the discovery of radioactivity took hold of the public imagination, drawing chemistry closer to physics, even as it threatened to undermine the whole concept of atomism. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Chemistry presents the first comprehensive history from the Bronze Age to today, covering all forms and aspects of chemistry and its ever-changing social context. The themes covered in each volume are theory and concepts; practice and experiment; laboratories and technology; culture and science; society and environment; trade and industry; learning and institutions; art and representation.
《19世纪化学文化史》涵盖了1815年至1914年以及现代化学的诞生。原子理论的阐述——以及周期性、结构、键合和平衡的新思想——与新的工具和实践同时出现。由于对钢铁、铝、染料、药品和消费品的需求不断增加,化学工业呈指数级增长。化学实验室建立在大学和工业这两个截然不同的现代环境中。在世纪之交,放射性的发现占据了公众的想象,使化学更接近物理学,尽管它有可能破坏原子论的整个概念。《化学文化史》共6卷,呈现了从青铜时代到今天的第一部综合历史,涵盖了化学的所有形式和方面及其不断变化的社会背景。每卷所涵盖的主题都是理论和概念;实践与实验;实验室和技术;文化与科学;社会与环境;贸易和工业;学习和机构;艺术和表现。

A Cultural History of Chemistry in the Modern Age covers the period from 1914 to the present. The impact of chemistry and the chemical industry on science, war, society, and the economy has made this era the “Chemical Age”. Having prospered in the West, chemical science spread across the globe and slowly became more diversified in terms of its ethnic and gendered mix. After flourishing for sixty years, the chemical industry was impacted by the Oil Crisis of the 1970s and became almost invisible in the West. While the industry has clearly delivered many benefits to society—such as new materials and better drugs—it has been excoriated by critics for its impact on the environment. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Chemistry presents the first comprehensive history from the Bronze Age to today, covering all forms and aspects of chemistry and its ever-changing social context. The themes covered in each volume are theory and concepts; practice and experiment; laboratories and technology; culture and science; society and environment; trade and industry; learning and institutions; art and representation.
《现代化学文化史》涵盖了从1914年到现在的这段时间。化学和化学工业对科学、战争、社会和经济的影响使这个时代成为“化学时代”。在西方繁荣之后,化学科学传播到全球,慢慢地在种族和性别混合方面变得更加多样化。在繁荣了60年之后,化学工业受到了20世纪70年代石油危机的影响,在西方几乎被忽视了。虽然制药行业显然为社会带来了许多好处——比如新材料和更好的药物——但它却因其对环境的影响而受到批评。6卷集的化学文化史呈现了从青铜时代到今天的第一个全面的历史,涵盖了化学的所有形式和方面及其不断变化的社会背景。每卷涵盖的主题是理论和概念;实践与实验;实验室和技术;文化与科学;社会与环境;贸易和工业;学习和制度;艺术和表现。

A Cultural History of Chemistry in the Early Modern Age covers the period from 1500 to 1700, tracing chemical debates and practices within their cultural, social, and political contexts. This era in the history of chemistry was notable for natural philosophy, scientific discovery, and experimental method, and also as the high point of European alchemy – exemplified by the immensely popular writings of Paracelsus. Developments in the chemistry of metallurgy, medicine, distillation, and the applied arts encouraged attention to materials and techniques, linking theoretical speculation with practical know-how. Chemistry emerged as an academic discipline – supported by educational texts and based in classroom and laboratory instruction – and claimed a public place. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Chemistry presents the first comprehensive history from the Bronze Age to today, covering all forms and aspects of chemistry and its ever-changing social context. The themes covered in each volume are theory and concepts; practice and experiment; laboratories and technology; culture and science; society and environment; trade and industry; learning and institutions; art and representation.
《近代早期化学文化史》涵盖了1500年至1700年期间,追溯了其文化、社会和政治背景下的化学辩论和实践。化学史上的这个时代以自然哲学、科学发现和实验方法而闻名,也是欧洲炼金术的巅峰——帕拉塞尔苏斯的著作就是例证。冶金、医学、蒸馏和应用艺术化学的发展鼓励人们关注材料和技术,将理论推测与实践知识联系起来。化学作为一门学术学科出现,得到了教育文本的支持,并以课堂和实验室教学为基础,并占据了公共地位。《化学文化史》共6卷,呈现了从青铜时代到今天的第一部综合历史,涵盖了化学的所有形式和方面及其不断变化的社会背景。每卷所涵盖的主题都是理论和概念;实践与实验;实验室和技术;文化与科学;社会与环境;贸易和工业;学习和机构;艺术和表现。

A Cultural History of Chemistry in the Middle Ages covers the period from 600 to 1500 in European and Islamic cultures. Arabic theories and terminology for the science of matter were introduced into the West and became known as ‘alchemy’. Based in experiment and innovation – and bound up in networks of mining, manufacturing, trade and commerce – alchemical practice largely focused on the production of new substances through various processes. At the same time, alchemy was deeply theoretical, exploring the development of mineralogy, the perfection of corruptible matter, the prolongation of life, and the cure of diseases.The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Chemistry presents the first comprehensive history from the Bronze Age to today, covering all forms and aspects of chemistry and its ever-changing social context.

as well as in Dutch genre painting, showing, for instance, how “alchemy’s impact on family life offered painters an outlet for humour as well as pathos” (p. 215). A painting by Hendrick Heerschop (ca. 1660–1680), The Alchemist’s Experiment Takes Fire, depicts an experiment gone badly wrong: a flask exploding, the alchemist in tattered clothing reacting with terror. His wife in the background, however, is engaged in more prosaic but necessary activities, wiping a child’s soiled bottom. Whilst the scatology in this painting was certainly part of a larger message about the futility of alchemy and Dutch moral topoi, as Drago indicates, it may have also been a satiric comment about the use of faeces in alchemical preparations. As Agnieszka Rec noted, there was a lot of dung in the early modern laboratory; dried horse manure was used for heating; dung was mixed with clay for luting; the philosopher Morienus even described dung as the starting material for the Philosopher’s Stone. “Faeces” could describe distillation dregs. We may well ask, as the artist intended, where the true “gold” was in this alchemist’s life and practice. Needless to say, alchemy in the visual arts is a very fertile area of research (sorry), and any facetiousness aside, Drago’s chapter excels at demonstrating the art-alchemy connections, unearthing true intellectual gold in her erudite assessment of visual culture. This latest production in the Bloomsbury series is similarly golden. It is a nicely produced hardcover book, with attractive illustrations and very fine analyses. It provides an enjoyable introduction to early modern chymistry, whilst also offering something to specialists. I highly commend the volume authors and editors, as well as the series editors for creating a reference source of lasting value to the field.
以及在荷兰风格绘画中,例如,展示了“炼金术对家庭生活的影响为画家提供了幽默和悲情的出口”(第215页)。Hendrick Heershop(约1660–1680年)的一幅画《炼金术士的实验着火了》描绘了一个严重错误的实验:一个烧瓶爆炸,穿着破烂衣服的炼金术士惊恐地做出反应。然而,他的妻子在幕后从事着更平淡但必要的活动,擦拭着孩子的脏屁股。正如德拉戈所指出的,虽然这幅画中的粪便学无疑是关于炼金术和荷兰道德拓扑徒劳的更大信息的一部分,但它也可能是对在炼金术制剂中使用粪便的讽刺评论。正如Agnieszka Rec所指出的,早期的现代实验室里有很多粪便;干燥的马粪用于加热;将粪便与粘土混合以进行洗脱;哲学家莫里恩努斯甚至将粪便描述为哲学家之石的起始材料。“粪便”可以用来形容蒸馏残渣。正如艺术家所想的那样,我们很可能会问,这位炼金术士的生活和实践中真正的“黄金”在哪里。不用说,视觉艺术中的炼金术是一个非常丰富的研究领域(对不起),抛开任何玩笑不谈,德拉戈的章节擅长于展示艺术与炼金术的联系,在她对视觉文化的博学评估中挖掘出真正的智力黄金。Bloomsbury系列的这部最新作品同样是金色的。这是一本制作精美的精装书,插图精美,分析精细。它为早期现代食糜学提供了一个愉快的介绍,同时也为专家们提供了一些东西。我高度赞扬该卷的作者和编辑,以及系列编辑为该领域创造了具有持久价值的参考来源。

tant practical knowledge was to rulers and statecraft as part of a princely collection or Kunstkammer. In the fourth and final part, the book moves most explicitly beyond The Body of the Artisan as it reflects Smith’s experience of collaborative research in laboratory reconstruction of instructions fromMs. Fr. 640, a Frenchmanuscript of art and craft practices that forms the core of Smith’s Making and Knowing Project at Columbia University. Here she distills the core insight that the anonymous author-practitioner of this sixteenth-century collection was primarily interested in the categorisation of materials by manipulating, hypothesising, and testing them – a working method that goes well beyond the trial and error typically identified as the artisanalmodus operandi. This may also be the part of the book that speaks most to the interests of the readers of this journal, as it reveals an epistemically productive fascination with material transformation that was the core business of alchemy in the early modern period. This part concludes with a search for alternative formulations to Kunst to describe this cognitive activity, culminating in the final sentence of the book where it is called “material imaginary,” “fundamental structuring categories,” “artisanal epistemology,” and a “mode of work,” among other things. Confronted with the same limitations of language that vexed early modern artisans, Smith is on a similar quest for creative descriptions and translations. Indeed, at its most basic level, the book tries to grasp and make explicit in words what practical knowledge is; and herein lies the most significant difference with Smith’s previous monograph. As the subtitle of The Body of the Artisan: Art and Experience in the Scientific Revolution suggests, it situated artisanal epistemology in relation to science. Traces of this approach remain, but From Lived Experience to the Written Word primarily defines practical knowledge on its own terms. Characteristically, the book ends with an epilogue on “Global Routes of Practical Knowledge” in which Smith starts to undo the Eurocentric assumptions of the concept of the Scientific Revolution. There are books which close the discussion by offering the final word, and others which open fields by drastically altering the terms of discussion. From Lived Experience to the Written Word is a perfectly crafted book belonging to the latter category.
对于统治者和治国方略来说,重要的实用知识是王子收藏或Kunstkammer的一部分。在第四部分也是最后一部分,这本书最明确地超越了《艺术家的身体》,因为它反映了史密斯在实验室重建Ms指令方面的合作研究经验。Fr.640,一个关于艺术和工艺实践的法国手稿,构成了哥伦比亚大学史密斯制作和了解项目的核心。在这里,她提炼出了一个核心见解,即这本16世纪作品集的匿名作者从业者主要对材料的分类感兴趣,通过操纵、假设和测试这些材料——这种工作方法远远超出了通常被认为是手工操作的试错。这也可能是本书中最符合本杂志读者兴趣的部分,因为它揭示了对物质变革的认识上的富有成效的迷恋,而物质变革是现代早期炼金术的核心业务。这一部分的结尾是寻找昆斯特的替代表述来描述这种认知活动,最终在书的最后一句中被称为“物质想象”、“基本结构类别”、“手工认识论”和“工作模式”等。面对困扰早期现代工匠的语言限制,史密斯也在寻求创造性的描述和翻译。事实上,在最基本的层面上,这本书试图抓住并用语言明确什么是实践知识;这与史密斯以前的专著有着最显著的区别。正如《艺术家的身体:科学革命中的艺术与经验》的副标题所表明的那样,它将艺术认识论与科学联系起来。这种方法的痕迹仍然存在,但《从生活经验到书面文字》主要根据自己的条件定义实践知识。具有特色的是,这本书以“全球实践知识之路”的结语结尾,史密斯在结语中开始推翻科学革命概念的以欧洲为中心的假设。有些书通过提供最后的话语来结束讨论,还有一些书通过大幅改变讨论条件来打开领域。《从生活经验到文字》是一本精心制作的书,属于后一类。

This part concludes with a search for alternative formulations to Kunst to describe this cognitive activity, culminating in the final sentence of the book where it is called “material imaginary,” “fundamental structuring categories,” “artisanal epistemology,” and a “mode of work,” among other things. Confronted with the same limitations of language that vexed early modern artisans, Smith is on a similar quest for creative descriptions and translations. Indeed, at its most basic level, the book tries to grasp and make explicit in words what practical knowledge is; and herein lies the most significant difference with Smith’s previous monograph. As the subtitle of The Body of the Artisan: Art and Experience in the Scientific Revolution suggests, it situated artisanal epistemology in relation to science. Traces of this approach remain, but From Lived Experience to the Written Word primarily defines practical knowledge on its own terms. Characteristically, the book ends with an epilogue on “Global Routes of Practical Knowledge” in which Smith starts to undo the Eurocentric assumptions of the concept of the Scientific Revolution. There are books which close the discussion by offering the final word, and others which open fields by drastically altering the terms of discussion. From Lived Experience to the Written Word is a perfectly crafted book belonging to the latter category.","PeriodicalId":50963,"journal":{"name":"Ambix","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49501470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

250 Water Street in New York City marks the location of a former 48,000-squarefoot parking lot in Lower Manhattan currently under construction by the Howard Hughes Corporation, a Texas real estate development agency. Since its purchase in 2018, however, the Howard Hughes Corporation’s massive redevelopment scheme for this lot has experienced continuous setbacks. One problem stems from the construction zone itself. It encompasses the site of the thermometer factory that Giuseppe Tagliabue (1812–1878), an Italian-born, London-trained scientific instrument maker established in 1834. Tagliabue’s first place of business was 240 Water Street. By 1848, he had relocated to nearby 298 Pearl Street where he continued to manufacture thermometers, barometers, and hydrometers on a large scale, and in 1868 Tagliabue purchased and “fitted up” a five-story building at 302 Pearl Street. These addresses lie within a quarter mile of each other. Not only is the ground beneath the Howard Hughes Corporation’s construction site contaminated with mercury, but mercury pollutes the ground beneath and the air above the surrounding neighbourhood as well.
