The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science by Richard Holmes

4.0

A well-researched book for sure, with some inspiring chapters for my artwork. However, I felt like this was more of a biography of some of the featured scientists, rather than focusing on their work and methods. More weight is given to their interactions and how they presented their work than the discoveries themselves. I would have preferred something more focused on primary sources, but it's good if you are curious.
