Description
From the publication of Copernicus' De Revolutionibus (1543), to the death of Isaac Newton (1627), there was an fundamental change in human thinking about nature. The essays in The Scientific Revolution explore this exciting period, showing its great triumphs but also investigating the false steps along the way.
