Beschreibung

First published in 2005, this book represents the first full length biography of John Phillips, one of the most important scientists of the Victorian period. Adopting a broad chronological approach, this book not only traces the development of Phillips' career but highlights his role within Victorian culture, shedding light on many wider themes. It explores how Phillips' love of science was inseparable from his need to earn a living and develop a career which could sustain him. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources and a rich body of recent writings, this biography brings together his personal story with the scientific developments of the day, and puts them in the context of wider society.
