Descripción

1768 Astronomy Galileo Botany Illustrated Navigation Optics 8v Pluche Spectacle Noël-Antoine Pluche was an early 18th-century French priest and historian who is most remembered today for his landmark work of natural history Spectacle of Nature . While this work would have significant influence on botanists and naturalists, Pluche designed the work to be for the general population, not of scientific merit. There was a time when Pluche himself called it La physique des enfants or physics of the children . The main themes portrayed in this work are not simply of the physical, natural world. Take for instance the first volume Pluche writes, We are here only to be virtuous a moral vision on how we are to live. Spectacle became a pragmatic work of theology through the lens of plants, animals, and the natural world. The volumes themselves contain numerous full-page and folding engravings views of animals and plants, astronomy and navigational tools, science experiments, machines, and much, much more.
