Review

"[A] recommended pick for both high school and college-level library holdings, reviewing connections between science and philosophy from 1500 to 1700, a period which created the foundations for the modern science we know today."

"Applebaum introduces high-school and lower-undergraduate students to the developments in science from about 1500 to about 1700 in Europe, changes dubbed the Scientific Revolution in the middle of the 19th century. Among the areas he surveys are astronomy and the cosmos, the nature of living things, new methods for advancing knowledge, and religion and national philosophy."

"Applebaum offers beginning university students the perfect introduction to the age of the scientific revolution from 1500 to 1800. Many scientific ideas and much medical information improved dramatically during those times as investigators began a relentless drive, which continues today, toward a better understanding of the natural world….One learns about the ideas of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Bacon, Descartes, Harvey, Newton, and many others. Annotated primary documents provide the flavor of the old writing styles and concepts. The numerous diagrams, individual portraits, glossary, annotated bibliography, and the index complete this overview for the young researcher. Highly recommended. General readers; lower-division undergraduates; two-year technical program students."
