Review title: An interesting study of science from 1300-1800 AD
Product review: An important aspect of the book that any perspective reader should be aware of is the subtitle, 1300-1800. Thus, these origins do not go back to the ancient Greeks or even to Ptolemy. The book does, however, cover Newton, which many books on the origins of science neglect because they stop the story well short of the 17th century.The book covers Copernicus and the development of the theory of gravitation. It also covers the study of the heart and general topics such as the history of the Philosophe Movement during the reign of Louis XIV, the place of the scientific revolution in the history of western civilization and the scientific revolution in chemistry. I particularly liked the section of gravitation as it covered the precursors to Newton and how Newton built on their work.This book should be of most interest to those interested in the history of science, as opposed to a general audience.
