Edited by John North, the volume chronicles the lives and contributions of key scientists active in the mid-1800s, a transformative era that witnessed dramatic advances in physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics. Each chapter illuminates a distinct individual — from their formative influences and professional struggles to their landmark discoveries — offering readers both historical context and a deep appreciation for the human stories behind scientific progress. Written with academic rigor yet accessible prose, the collection illustrates how these men of science navigated the rapidly evolving institutions, rivalries, and philosophical debates of Victorian-era intellectual life. An essential read for historians of science and general readers alike, it stands as a compelling testament to the ambition and ingenuity that defined nineteenth-century scientific culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826076332251,"sku":"2026770000529-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/861971a9-fd2d-4bf4-8521-85dea93fcf80.png?v=1780312132","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000529-secondhand-mid-nineteenth-century-scientists","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
