“In revisiting the pendulum, Hagner offers more than the history of an experiment. He explores how knowledge travels — through demonstrations, lectures, and illustrations — and how it is always entangled with aesthetics, politics, and philosophy. The book reminds us that science is not merely about data but about persuasion, and about how truths are made visible.”

AMERASIA by Elizabeth Horodowich and Alexander Nagel, reviewed in Italian journal Rivista il Mulino.

"Amerasia" esplora come gli europei del Cinquecento hanno vissuto la scoperta del Nuovo mondo, confondendo inizialmente America e Asia e creando un "continente mentale"
