Description: ISBN10: 0195337387, ISBN13: 9780195337389, [publisher: Oxford University Press Inc, New York] Softcover First Edition Paperback. What is temperature, and how can we measure it correctly? These may seem like simple questions, but the most renowned scientists struggled with them throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. In Inventing Temperature, Chang examines how scientists first created thermometers; how they measured temperature beyond the reach of standard thermometers; and how they managed to assess the reliability and accuracy of these instruments without a circular reliance on theinstruments themselves.In a discussion that brings together the history of science with the philosophy of science, Chang presents the simple eet challenging epistemic and technicalquestions about these instruments, and the complex web of abstract philosophical issues surrounding them. Chang's book shows that many items of knowledge that we take for granted now are in fact spectacular achievements, obtained only after a great deal of innovative thinking, painstaking experiments, bold conjectures, and controversy. Lurking behind these achievements are some very important philosophical questions about how and when people accept the authority of science. Chang examines how scientists first created thermometers; how they measured temperature beyond the reach of standard thermometers; and how they managed to assess the reliability and accuracy of these instruments without a circular reliance on the instruments themselves.

Lurking behind these achievements are some very important philosophical questions about how and when people accept the authority of science. Industry Reviews "A fascinating study."--David Knight, British Journal for the History of Science "An interesting, excellent book. Highly recommended." --CHOICE "Chang is well and deeply read in the philosophy of science and, with his conservative (sensu stricto) bent, is reluctant to discard any promising lines of attack, even if these are not in agreement with one another. Thus the book is thoroughly eclectic, as if designed to consider the invention of temperature serially and in ensemble from every worthwhile perspective. As the author has a generous cast of mind, this means a great number of perspectives. It is in this eclectic generosity of approach, not its spread across history and philosophy and science proper, that Inventing Temperature defies categorization."--Mott Greene,sis "A splendid book of lively historical narratives about experimentalists' work from the 17th to the mid-19th century in solving puzzles about making reliable thermometers."--Mary Jo Nye, Oregon State University "Inventing Temperature is a terrific book at the intersection of history, philosophy, and science."--Peter Galison, Harvard University ".a wonderful synthesis of the history and philosophy of physics. It combines rich historical detail with philosophical acuity and imagination."--Jeremy Butterfield, Oxford University "Chang's book treats a well-defined and deeply interesting topic with historical thoroughness and philosophical acuity."--R.I.G. Hughes, University of South Carolina "An interesting, and at times fascinating, history of the development of the concept of temperature and the construction of thermometers. Even those who don't have an extensive background in physics will find the book valuable."--Allen Franklin, Physics, University of Colorado 286pp [Albert Park, VIC, Australia] [Publication Year: 2007]
