How the Victorians Took Us to the Moon

Description

Er mwyn ein tynnu i’r dyfodol, creodd dyfeiswyr yr Oes Fictoraidd ffordd newydd o drefnu a thrawsffurfio natur. Seiliwyd hyn ar gynlluniau mawreddog a chrynhoi adnoddau’r Ymerodraeth Brydeinig – gan chwyldroi gwyddoniaeth wrth wneud hynny. Dyma olwg newydd ar wyddonwyr a dyfeiswyr Oes Fictoria gan awdur toreithiog ac athro prifysgol uchel ei barch.
To get us to the future, the Victorians created a new way of ordering and transforming nature, built on grand designs and the mass-mobilisation of the resources of Empire – and revolutionised science in the process. A new look at Victorian scientists and inventors by a prolific author and renowned university professor.
