PETER DEAR is Professor of History and of Science and Technology Studies, Cornell University, USA.
From Copernicus, who put the earth in orbit around the sun, to Isaac Newton, who gave the world universal gravitation, the Scientific Revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries transformed the way Europeans understood their world. In this book, Peter Dear offers an accessible introduction to the origins of modern science for students and general readers. This second edition further explores the practice and influence of alchemy, the social standing of early scientists, and the role of medicine and medical practitioners. It provides a comprehensive overview of principal themes and topics. It discusses central figures, including Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton, and describes the world in which they lived - and the new world they helped create. It features a rich variety of illustrations, a glossary of terms, and a list of further reading.

評分很好的教材,講解非常清晰。隻讀瞭開頭結尾和笛卡爾一章,因為畢竟離自己專業太遠。以後再來翻。
評分Dear 的解析很清晰易懂,隻是我邊學邊想會想學習aristotelian們的geocentric model, isnt it funny lol? 不過我從來沒告訴過History Prof. 其實還是很有趣的,贊古代先哲!~
