	The Curious Life of Robert Hooke - Lisa Jardine
		Jardine also has to deal with this in her biography of the man, and it turns out to be quite a hurdle.
		Jardine suggests a focus with her subtitle -- Hooke as The Man Who Measured London -- but the book admits there was far more to him, and gives equal space to his important work with and at the Royal Society, and many of his other endeavours.
		Jardine gives a decent overview of some of these projects, and the illustrations bring much of this to life, but it's hard material to simply survey and one wishes for a more detailed and specific account of it.

	Lisa Jardine: Much done, more to do \| Special Reports \| EducationGuardian.co.uk
		Jardine openly acknowledges that throughout her childhood she loved her father almost to the exclusion of her mother, which helps to explain how - from the age of five - she was identified as a maths prodigy.
		Jardine has been virtually ever-present as a cultural commentator over the past two decades and has been a judge on all the major book prizes - most notably in 2002 when she was chair of the Booker jury.
		The notion that Jardine is essentially frivolous has strayed into other areas of her media work, but she says she's resigned, even happy, with that, because in the sphere that really matters to her - the academic - she's always been acknowledged as a serious player.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Worldly Goods, by Lisa Jardine, Paperback
		In this lively, provocative, and wholly absorbing new book, Lisa Jardine offers a radical new interpretation, arguing that the creation of culture during the Renaissance was inextricably tied to the creation of wealth - that the expansion of commerce spurred the expansion of thought.
		Lisa Jardine's highly entertaining revisionist history links Renaissance culture to the creation of wealth and the rise of a newly affluent class of merchants and traders.
		Jardine (English/Univ. of London) argues that the unashamed pursuit of valuable possessions, including great religious and secular art, was a defining characteristic of the period.

	Amazon.de: Ingenious Pursuits: Creativity and the Scientific Revolution: English Books: Lisa Jardine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Lisa Jardine, who by the way is Jacob Bronowski's daughter, has written a lucid commentary on the rise of science in the late 17th Century.
		Professor Jardine's insistence that science and art have been artificially sundered illuminates both past and present: her protagonists straddle the two realms with ease, and suggest that the separation of the disciplines in the public imagination is wholly unjustified.
		Jardine, a consummate communicator of complex ideas, manages to both advance her theories, and entertain the reader - an achievement which should not be underestimated, resulting in a truly remarkable work of scholarship.

		Jardine is at times a slightly awkward writer, but she has an interesting story to tell and, on the whole, she tells it well.
		Jardine's book is that she has a case to make--that a portrait previously identified as botanist John Ray is, in fact, a portrait of Hooke.
		Jardine talks of Hooke's conflict with Newton near the very start of the book and then hardly mentions it again, though this is probably the defining time of Hooke's life.

		Jardine and Stewart's book is permeated from beginning to end with the malodorous malice of second rate minds for the truly great.
		Jardine and Stewart would walk ten miles for a piece of dirt on Francis Bacon, and they dredge up every bit of contemporary gossip that reflects adversely on him.
		Jardine and Stewart suffer from halitosis of the intellect.

	Amazon.ca: Worldly Goods: Books: Lisa Jardine
		Drawing from her earlier and more academic studies, Lisa Jardine approaches the challenge of creating a new history of the Renaissance with remarkable bravura and all the boldness required to deliver a fresh and highly readable story of an age we think we know so well.
		Jardine convincingly argues that the astounding rebirth in the arts and in knowledge in general during the Renaissance was in god measure a byproduct of renewed trade, a commercial revival, and the lust for wealth and social recognition.
		Were Britisher Lisa Jardine resident on this side of the Pond, she would be familiar in our mouths as household words, celebrated in print and film and certified a MacArthurian genius.

	Reason Magazine - Buying Into Culture
		According to Jardine, a painter's reputation in Titian's time rested "not on some intrinsic criteria of intellectual worth," but rather "on his ability to arouse commercial interest" in his work.
		A number of researchers are, like Jardine, taking a fresh look at so malevolent a pair of concepts as "commercialization" and "consumption," and reapplying them to cultural activity in unexpected ways.
		His focus on the present transformational possibilities of capitalism is not only very much related to what Jardine is getting at in her own discussion of Renaissance "acquisitiveness" and "consumerism," it is in fact the end result (so far) of a cultural process that first appears with the Renaissance.

	Pursuing the Ingenious: An Interview with Lisa Jardine
		Lisa Jardine, Professor of Renaissance Studies at Queen Mary and Westfield College, London, has written a new book on the scientific revolution.
		In contrast, Jardine reveals a world where the new scientific breakthroughs were governed as much by professional collaborations and rivalries, political realities and funding agendas as by the birth of a pure scientific spirit.
		Perhaps the most shocking aspect of Jardine’s account of scientific endeavour in the 17th century is the enthusiasm with which some particularly unpleasant vivisection experiments were practiced, sometimes repeatedly, and in public.

	Prof. Lisa Jardine: Men Prefer 'Puberty' Fiction of 'Angst and Orwell'. So What? - daduh
		Prior to this in 2004, Professor Jardine and had conducted a similar study of watershed fiction for women.
		Perhaps the most distressing aspect of Professor Jardine's statements, from a male perspective, is the apparent bias implied by such condescending statements as that male readers preferred 'all angst and Orwell' and that this was 'puberty reading' for a gender that only read novels like 'photography manuals'.
		Assuming her study results are valid, and not meaningless due to selection bias or -- for the cynical among us -- simply a means to present her predetermined results to justify the worthiness of the Orange Prize for Fiction, there are two underlying questions she doesn't even attempt to answer.

	Amazon.co.uk: Ingenious Pursuits: Building the Scientific Revolution: Books: Lisa Jardine
		Jardine shows that science is a normal commercial activity, wedded inextricably to the pursuit of profit and military advantage.
		Lisa Jardine has a knack for lucidly presenting the scientific basis of these discoveries, whilst never forgetting the human characters (such as the ever-present entepreneur Hooke) who populated the 17th century scientific world.
		As she guides us through the Scientific Revolution, Jardine shows us that the separation of art and science is far from clear-cut, and that commercial interests have always been inextricably linked to the drive for progress.
