Books boeken marie boas hall dover publications paperback november 1994: While scientific inquiry has its roots in both Far Eastern and Indo-European cultures the revolutionary ideas that made modern scientific achievements possible occurred initially in Europe. This stimulating illuminating and thoughtfully presented work explores the early stages of this scientific revolution beginning with the rediscovery of Greek ideas in the mid-15th century and culminating with Galileos brilliant Dialogue on the Two Chief Systems of the World in 1630.

Noted historian of science Marie Boas Hall first gives a general account of scientific thought in the mid-1400s then examines the Copernican revolution and the anatomical work of Vesalius and his contemporaries the impact of chemical medicine and the efforts of the Swiss physician and alchemist Paracelsus. Also here are insightful discussions of Harveys discovery of the circulatory system the work of Kepler the effects of Galileos telescopic discoveries and other topics.

A series of accompanying illustrations among them a Ptolemaic map examples of Renaissance engineering and portraits of Francis Bacon Tycho Brahe Vesalius Kepler and Galileo enhance this scholarly and informative work. A valuable reference book for students of the history of science The Scientific Renaissance 14501630 is good sound academic stuff .
