The New Books Network History of Science podcast channel recently released an interview by Dr. Morteza Hajizadeh of Prof. Al Coppola about his 2016 book “The Theater of Experiment; Staging Natural Philosophy in Eighteenth-Century Britain.”
First published in the aftermath of the English Civil War and its catastrophic effects upon the society and the land, The Compleat Angler has for nearly four hundred years captured and held the attention of a far wider readership than just fishermen. Why and how this unexpected situation has come to be is the subject of the aforementioned Prof. Marjorie Swann’s new book “Environment, Society, & The Compleat Angler.”
It’s not often that I find myself presented with the opportunity to write about a new book the subject of which centers upon not only the geographic location in which I’ve spent my entire life (thus far, at least) but also the activity that has defined, and even the very person responsible for putting me on, the strange occupational path I’ve followed these past twenty-five odd years.
