Thomas Garnett
Science, Medicine, Mobility in Eighteenth Century Britain
Por ROBERT FOX
Sinopsis
Thomas Garnett was a man of science and physician whose career took him from rural obscurity in 18th-century Westmorland to metropolitan prominence as the first professor of natural philosophy and chemistry at the newly founded Royal Institution in London in 1799. His rise to the summit of British science was far from straightforward, but is brought to life in vivid detail by Robert Fox.
Fox gives an engrossing and moving account of the trials, triumphs, and tragedies of Garnetts life, exploring his disputes with established doctors concerning the medicinal virtues of mineral waters, his involvement in the contested politics surrounding the creation of the Royal Institution of Great Britain and his premature death. In doing so, Fox deftly shows how Garnetts life can illuminate a wide canvas of the social history of British science and medicine in the crucial period of early industrialisation
