If the twentieth century saw the rise of “Big Science,” then the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were surely an age of thrift. As Simon Werrett’s new history shows, frugal early modern experimenters transformed their homes into laboratories as they recycled, repurposed, repaired, and reused their material possessions to learn about the natural world. Thrifty Science explores this distinctive culture of experiment and demonstrates how the values of the household helped to shape an array of experimental inquiries, ranging from esoteric investigations of glowworms and sour beer to famous experiments such as Benjamin Franklin’s use of a kite to show lightning was electrical and Isaac Newton’s investigations of color using prisms. Tracing the diverse ways that men and women put their material possessions into the service of experiment, Werrett offers a history of practices of recycling and repurposing that are often assumed to be more recent in origin. This thriving domestic culture of inquiry was eclipsed by new forms of experimental culture in the nineteenth century, however, culminating in the resource-hungry science of the twentieth. Could thrifty science be making a comeback today, as scientists grapple with the need to make their research more environmentally sustainable?

"Hendrik Meijer came to Holland, Michigan, from his native Netherlands in 1907, a twenty-three-year-old factory worker with a high disdain for capitalism and a restless ambition to make his own way. Thrifty Years tells the unlikely story of that rebel in wooden shoes who opened a grocery store during the Great Depression and, in embracing the capitalism he once scorned, eventually founded a hugely successful chain that represented a new form of mass-merchandising--a hybrid of supermarket and discount department store called Meijer Thrifty Acres. This colorful biography, written by Meijer's grandson, is not just another Horatio Alger success story, for the story of the older Meijer's evolution from radical factory worker to mass merchant is told with a full appreciation of that ironic transformation. Along the way, the author paints an intriguing backdrop of the economic, social, and political forces at work in turn-of-the-century Dutch, American, and Dutch immigrant society."--Page 4 of cover.
