Description

Paperback / softback. New. Re-examines the assumptions and experimental evidence behind Boyle's Law. The author argues that even good science is sometimes influenced by gender and class politics, and she shows that this work leading to the Gas Law, while certainly based on the experimental evidence, was also based on class and gendered considerations.
