"Brought to Light" invites readers to step back to a time when photography, X-rays, and movies were new, when forays into the world beneath the skin or the realm beyond our everyday vision captivated scientists and the public alike. In this book, accounts of scientific experimentation blend with stories of showmanship to reveal how developments in nineteenth-century technology could enlighten as well as frighten and amaze. Through a series of 200 vintage images, produced by photographers, scientists, and amateur inventors, this book ultimately traces the rise of popular science.
