Item Description...
Product Description
Many are familiar with the ideas of Copernicus, Descartes, and Galileo. But here the reader is also introduced to lesser known ideas and contributors to the Scientific Revolution, such as the mathematical Bernoulli Family and Andreas Vesalius, whose anatomical charts revolutionized the study of the human body. More marginal characters include the magician Robert Fludd. The encyclopedia also discusses subjects like Arabic science and the bizarre history of blood transfusions, and institutions like the Universities of Padua and Leiden, which were dominant forces in academic medicine and science.

 | Star inflation alert Jun 2, 2005 |
| William E. Burns has a habit of reviewing his own books. He awards himself five stars. This is blatant self-promotion on his part. His book is too short to be called an encyclopedia. Like other books in the publisher's History of Science series, it is aimed squarely at school and public libraries. Students looking for biographical entries would do better to consult the Dictionary of Scientific Biography. A real encyclopedia, like the Encyclopaedia Britannica, would be better for most other purposes. In short, I do not see any need for Burns's book. | | |  | Error on page Jun 7, 2003 |
| The age range is not 4-8. Its for teenagers/adults. I tried fixing this in corrections, but age range wasn't listed as one of the things you could correct. Its a great book, of course, but I'm a little prejudiced. | | | Write your own review about The Scientific Revolution: An Encyclopedia (History of Science)
