What is there in common between the construction of the fact and its reception? How do the contents of a laboratory notebook interact with scientific correspondence networks and related publications? In this French-language book, Ratcliff explores these questions as he reconstructs both the discovery of the division of Infusoria (fresh- and pond-water unicellular organisms) by Geneva scholar Horace-Bénédict de Saussure (1740–99) and its reception by the late eighteenth-century scientific community. Combining micro-historical and epistemological analysis in order to investigate the double path of the researcher and his object, Ratcliff proposes a new understanding of the relationships between construction, discovery, and reception.","brand":"French National Museum Natural History","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051098128624,"sku":"9782856537886","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9782856537886_p0.jpg?v=1763708150","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9782856537886","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
