Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society - Vol 1 - 1666 by Various
"Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society - Vol 1 - 1666" by Various is a scientific journal first published in 1665. As the world's second journal devoted exclusively to science and the longest-running scientific publication, it captured the pioneering spirit of the Royal Society's early days. Edited by secretary Henry Oldenburg as a private venture, this groundbreaking volume introduced the fundamental practices of modern scientific publishing—peer review, registration, and dissemination. Its pages
reveal the intellectual curiosity of seventeenth-century natural philosophers exploring everything from Jupiter's Great Red Spot to whale-fishing near Bermuda. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
