Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-21 00:00:00 Richard N Deimund La práctica del coleccionismo comenzó con un propósito, "poseer". Este libro aborda dicha cultura durante el siglo XVI y XVII, la manera en que las colecciones fueron transformándose en contenidos, desde lo natural hacia lo artificial. Pero en el medio, quizá lo más relevante es la manera en que explica la cultura de la experimentación. La palabra laboratorio reviene desde diferentes puntos y es significativa: "The laboratory was therefore a disciplined space, where experimental discursive, and social practices were collectively controlled by competent members. In these respects, the experimental laboratory was a better space in which to generate authentic knowledge than a space outside it in which simple observation of nature could be made."

Review # 2 was written on 2015-09-24 00:00:00 Marc Tosca This book looks at the development of scientific culture in Europe, using early modern (northern) Italy as a case study. Cultural forces like patronage and identity have large roles in proto-scientific circles.
