Sobre este item
(New York: Bloomsbury, 2006) 1596910364. 8vo; original black boards, lettered in silver gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. xv + (i) + 333, incl. index; illustrations. Merest trace of wear to dustwrapper's top edge; spot to top edge. Very good condition. 'Generation is the story of the exciting, all but forgotten decade when four men - Jan Swammerdam, the son of a Protestant apothecary; Nils Stensen (also known as Steno), a Danish anatomist who first discovered the human tear duct; Reinier de Graaf, the attractive and brilliant son of a rich and successful Catholic architect; and Antoni Leeuwenhoek, a self-taught draper - dared to challenge thousands of years of orthodox thinking about where life comes from. ... Including previously untranslated documents, Generation interweaves the personal stories of these scientists against the backdrop of the Dutch "Golden Age." It is a riveting account of the audacious men who swept away old certainties and provided the foundation for much of our current understanding of the living world.' .
