商品簡介
Hoare (emeritus theoretical physics, U. of London) is not satisfied with merely recounting the technical innovation and occasional virtuosity in the effort to measure humans' home planet. Rather he delves into how the controversy wrought an extraordinary contest of philosophies and led to ongoing strife in the academies involving such luminaries as Descartes, Newton, Voltaire, and Maupertuis. He also describes the physical effort and suffering endured in expeditions to some of the most inhospitable parts of the Earth, and how such suffering after truth rather than riches or fame elicited the sympathy of the literati for a time.
