Product Information
"Fascinating. . . . Jardine takes a complex view, according Hooke with the respect and dignity that eluded him for so long. . . [and] with this compelling and empathetic portrait, she succeeds in making a convincing case for his place in history. . . [as] a founding father in Europe's scientific revolution." -- Los Angeles Times The brilliant, largely forgotten maverick Robert Hooke was an engineer, surveyor, architect, and inventor who worked tirelessly with his intimate friend Christopher Wren to rebuild London after the Great Fire of 1666. He was the first Curator of Experiments at the Royal Society, and his engravings of natural phenomena seen under the new microscope appeared in his masterpiece, the acclaimed Micrographia, one of the most influential volumes of the day. But Hooke's irascible temper and his passionate idealism proved fatal for his relationships with important political figures, most notably Sir Isaac Newton: their quarrel is legendary. As a result, historical greatness eluded Robert Hooke. Eminent historian Lisa Jardine does this original thinker of indefatigable curiosity and imagination justice and allows him to take his place as a major figure in the seventeenth century intellectual and scientific revolution.

Reviews
Imaginative, fluent and scholarly ... it helps round out our understanding of a man who is both famous and simultaneously unknown, even unknowable., [Jardine s] lucid and easy-reading prose paints a vivid portrait of a curiously overlooked historical figure., "[Jardine's] well-documented presentation of Hooke's relations with the scientific community of a late 17th-century London he helped to reshape is a tour de force - social history as well as biography." -- New York Times Book Review "Fascinating ...
