title: The Emergence of a Scientific Culture: Science and the Shaping of Modernity 1210-1685
author:  Stephen Gaukroger 
description: <br>"An impressive and wide ranging book.... Gaukroger's grand beginning of an even grander five-volume narrative is an exceptional book. Its structure of scientific authority, as it were, is certain to stimulate long and lively discussions among academics of every stripe, from medievalists through historical sociologists to historians of science, religion, and the world's civilizations."--Michael H. Shank, <em>Renaissance Quarterly</em>
