科学家「scientist」一词是怎么诞生的？第一台照相机是怎么诞生的？天王星和海王星是怎么发现的？计算机是怎么诞生的，它诞生的历史与著名诗人拜伦之女有什么联系？现代科学诞生之前的这段历史，读来竟然让人心潮澎湃，可谓惊心动魄

盛产科学巨人的时代。一个启发：任何创作和研究，都需要志同道合者。无论是科学还是文学艺术，都是一样。Robert Bly在接受《巴黎评论》访谈的时候就曾说过：写作不是「一个人」的事情，即便是诗人，也不该孤独地写作。

The Philosophical Breakfast Club 在线电子书图书描述

The Philosophical Breakfast Club recounts the life and work of four men who met as students at Cambridge University: Charles Babbage, John Herschel, William Whewell, and Richard Jones. Recognizing that they shared a love of science (as well as good food and drink) they began to meet on Sunday mornings to talk about the state of science in Britain and the world at large. Inspired by the great 17th century scientific reformer and political figure Francis Bacon—another former student of Cambridge—the Philosophical Breakfast Club plotted to bring about a new scientific revolution. And to a remarkable extent, they succeeded, even in ways they never intended.

Historian of science and philosopher Laura J. Snyder exposes the political passions, religious impulses, friendships, rivalries, and love of knowledge—and power—that drove these extraordinary men. Whewell (who not only invented the word “scientist,” but also founded the fields of crystallography, mathematical economics, and the science of tides), Babbage (a mathematical genius who invented the modern computer), Herschel (who mapped the skies of the Southern Hemisphere and contributed to the invention of photography), and Jones (a curate who shaped the science of economics) were at the vanguard of the modernization of science.

This absorbing narrative of people, science and ideas chronicles the intellectual revolution inaugurated by these men, one that continues to mold our understanding of the world around us and of our place within it. Drawing upon the voluminous correspondence between the four men over the fifty years of their work, Laura J. Snyder shows how friendship worked to spur the men on to greater accomplishments, and how it enabled them to transform science and help create the modern world.
