Coverage also explores the science and technology of early modern optics...Della Porta‘s groundbreaking book, .Magia Naturalis. (Natural Magic), includes a prototype of the camera. Yet, because of his obsession with magic, Della Porta‘s scientific achievements are often forgotten. As the contributors argue, his work inspired such great minds as Johanes Kepler and Francis Bacon. After reading this book, researchers, historians, and students will have a better appreciation of this influential scientist. They will also gain a greater understanding of an important period in the history of optics. .Readers will learn about Della Porta‘s experimental method, a process governed by the protocols, aims, and theoretical assumptions of natural magic. Coverage also discusses the material properties and limitations of optical technology in the early 17th century, based on a recently discovered Dutch spyglass. It also demonstrates how diagrams were instrumental in the discovery of the sine law of refraction..In addition, the book includes an | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | 关键词 | Early modern optics; History of lenses and mirrors; Natural magic; Illustrations and experiments; Giamba | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-50215-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-84348-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-50215-1Series ISSN 1385-0180 Series E-ISSN 2215-0064 | issn_series | 1385-0180 | copyright | Springer International Publishing AG 2017 |
