The Curious Life of Robert Hooke: The Man who Measured London
by Lisa Jardine
- Used
- Fine
- Hardcover
London: HarperCollins, 2003. No marks or inscriptions. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn with slight creasing to upper edge. 422pp. Robert Hooke was an engineer, surveyor, architect and inventor who was appointed London's Chief Surveyor after the Great Fire of 1666. He is nowadays largely forgotten, although physics students may recall his Hooke's Law of Elasticity. In a fit of temper, Sir Isac Newton wiped Hooke's name from the Royal Society records which may go some way to explaining his elative obscurity. This in-depth study descibes his professional and his personal life.. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good (+). 9.5 x 6.25 inches.

Description:
2003. London, Harper Collins, 2003. 16 cm x 24 cm. IX, 422 pages. Original Hardcover with dustjacket in protective collector's - Mylar. Excellent condition. Robert Hooke FRS (18 July] 1635 3 March 1703) was an English natural philosopher, architect and polymath. His adult life comprised three distinct periods: as a scientific inquirer lacking money; achieving great wealth and standing through his reputation for hard work and scrupulous honesty following the great fire of 1666, but eventually becoming ill and party to jealous intellectual disputes.
