The Scientific Renaissance 1450-1630 by Marie Boas Hall
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 6.1MB
Overview: Between 1450 & 1630 science experienced a transformation. Here readers will find not only a clear, succinct & authoritative account of the work of Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Harvey & a host of others: they will find ideas & persons related to the history of their times. The author tells how scientists lived & how they kept in touch with each other. Above all, she makes us realise how they looked at the world & what they thought about their own fields of study. Like those of whom she writes, the author recoginises no division between science & humanism. The result is a book that be as deeply interesting to the general reader as it will be valuable to historians of science.
“The endeavour to understand events in nature is as old as civilisation. In each of its three great seminal areas–the Chinese, the Indian & the W. Asian-European–men tried to find a logic in the mysterious & an order in the chaotic. They made many attempts, sometimes revealing strange similarities in these totally different societies, to express general truths from which particular events would follow as rational, comprehensible consequences. They tried to describe & analyse in order to understand, for men could not live in the world without seeking to assign causes to the things that happen in it.”–
