Robert Hooke
Micrographia : or, Some physiological descriptions of minute bodies made
by magnifying glasses. With observations and inquiries thereupon.
London : Printed for James Allestry, 1667.
The enmity of Newton obscured the brilliantly eclectic discoveries of Hooke
set out in this work: close physical observation led to his discussion of
atomic structures, the role of air in combustion, aerodynamics and acoustics
- with his own illustrations that are works of art in themselves.
