Inventing Temperature: Measurement and Scientific Progress - Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Science
Chang, Hasok (Lecturer in the Department of Science and Technology Studies, Lecturer in the Department of Science and Technology Studies, University College London)
Chang examines how scientists first created thermometers; how they measured temperature beyond the reach of standard thermometers; and how they managed to assess the reliability and accuracy of these instruments without a circular reliance on the instruments themselves.
