The Age of Wonder: The Romantic Generation and the Discovery of the Beauty and Terror of Science Paperback March 2, 2010
The Age of Wonder by Richard Holmes is an exceptional book about the Romantic Generation and the discovery of the beauty and terror of science. It tells biographical stories of Sir Joseph Banks, balloonists, astronomer Sir William Herschel and discovers Mungo Park and Mary Shelley among others. Holmes uses their stories as a lens to show how science was developing and changing during this influential period, and how it interacts with other concepts such as nature, god, and humanity's place in the cosmos. The book has a lively style and provides a wealth of detail about their lives without fictionalizing anything. It takes a while to go through, but it's worth a reader's patience.
