Astronomy was a popular and important part of Victorian science, and British astronomers carried telescopes and spectroscopes to remote areas of India, the Great Plains of North America, and islands in the Caribbean and Pacific to watch the sun eclipsed by the moon. Examining the rich interplay between science, culture, and British imperial society in the late nineteenth century, this book shows how the organization and conduct of scientific fieldwork was structured by contemporary politics and culture, and how rapid and profound changes in the organization of science, advances in photography, and new printing technology remade the character of scientific observation.After introducing the field of Victorian science to the nonspecialist, the book examines the long periods of planning necessary for eclipse expeditions, and it recounts the day-to-day work of getting to field sites, setting up camp, and preparing for and observing eclipses. Operating behind the countless decisions made by scientists was a host of large-scale forces, including the professionalization and specialization of disciplines, the growth of service, and public funding for the sciences. Fieldwork also required close coordination with the many institutions and technological systems of British imperialism.The development of imaging technologies was, of course, crucial to observations of the solar corona. Eclipse observation taxed astronomers and their cameras to their limits, and it raised new questions about the trustworthiness of imaging technologies. In the late nineteenth century, scientists shifted from drawing to photographing natural phenomena, but the shift occurred gradually, unevenly, and against resistance. Victorian astronomers had to weigh carefully the merits of human and mechanical observation, and the difficulties of solar photography highlight the inseparability of images from technologies of observation and printing.

"Divertido y constructivo, Enamorados de la distracción es un examen atento de los peligros de nuestras sobredosis de Internet. Y una visión histórica de cómo los avances tecnológicos cambian la conciencia" (Washington Post). "Enamorados de la distracción es un enfoque atento a la tecnología digital. En lugar de rechazar la tecnología en la búsqueda de la auténtica experiencia mítica, Pang quiere limpiar la confusión que ha creado" (The New Yorker). ¿Cómo hacer para que las computadoras no nos dominen? ¿Cómo impedir que la tecnología, en vez de ayudarnos a aprovechar mejor nuestro tiempo, lo devore con sus renovados avances? Todos nos hemos encontrado presos de la ansiedad cuando nuestro navegador se demora unos segundos más de lo habitual. O furiosos porque la conexión de internet de nuestro teléfono celular no es tan veloz como nos habían prometido. Es un hecho que los dispositivos móviles y la web ya son parte de nuestras vidas, pero la pregunta clave es: ¿podemos permanecer conectados sin disminuir nuestra inteligencia, capacidad de concentración, y la capacidad de llevar una vida auténtica? ¿Pueden las tecnologías de la información ayudarnos a ser más productivos o creativos? ¿Podemos tenerlo todo?Alex Soojung – Kim Pang, célebre gurú de la Universidad de Stanford, sostiene que sí. Enamorados de la distracción nos enseña a vivir con naturalidad la tecnología. ¿Cómo hacer para no caer preso de un ataque de nervios mientras Facebook se actualiza? ¿Cómo estar desligados varias horas de la multitud digital y no perecer en el intento? ¿Cómo estar conectados sin caer en la total desconcentración por la cantidad de mensajes que nos abordan? ¿Cómo entablar una relación más sana y balanceada con las tecnologías de la información que nos rodean? ¿Cómo focalizar en algo sin olvidar todo lo demás, y sin sufrir por ese olvido? Este libro esclarecedor y divertido lo explica.
