Revolutionizing the Sciences by Peter Dear
Peter Dear creates a fascinating picture of the origins and development of scientific thought and practice in early modern Europe. The second edition of this successful text has been updated and expanded in the light of recent scholarship, offering greater treatment of key topics such as alchemy and medicine.
'Succinct, well-organized, and clearly written, this is an excellent account of the intellectual transformation of our understanding of the natural world between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries' - Paula Findlen, Stanford University, USA. 'This book is a clear first choice for students and teachers. Incorporating cutting edge scholarship, it matches breadth of thematic coverage with clarity of exposition and takes the reader gently but firmly through the field.' - Simon Ditchfield, University of York, UK.
PETER DEAR is Professor of History and of Science and Technology Studies, Cornell University, USA.
