Subject: instrumentation as prosthesis?
This is a request for suggestions on where to look for discussions of
scientific instrumentation as mental/intellectual prosthesis. I would prefer
the discussions to be rather solidly in the history of science rather than
just romps with the idea through fields of dream. I have no objections
whatever to romps, through fields or anywhere else ;-), but I need some
foundational material to strengthen an argument, or to convince my readers
that the argument is strong -- because Real Scientists have made it too.
(Does anyone have an emoticon for tongue-in-cheek?)
Thanks.
Yours,
WM
