Book Description Broschiert / Paperback. Condition: Gut. XI, 376, 11 Seiten / p. Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt, Mängelstrich auf Fußschnitt, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / Paper lightly browned, defect mark on bottom edge, otherwise perfect condition - " Dr. Boas task is an enormously difficult one. She must cover a wide range of subjects - mathematics, physics, astrology, astronomy, physiology, anatomy, alchemy, mapping and so forth - while sustaining the thesis that the period 1450-1630 is a definite stage in the scientific revolution. . . . The gifts that the author brings to her task are formidable: competence in Greek science and the varied fields of fifteenth and sixteenth century science; knowledge of minor figures and the major ones; an interest in the connection of science and literature. Above all, she is aware of the enterprise of science from within . The book is one of the most valuable efforts at summarizing the highly significant and now carefully researched development of science in the period of the Renaissance." bruce mazlish, The American Historical Review -- Contents -- I: The Triumph of our New Age -- II: The Pleasures and Delights of Nature III: The Copernican Revolution -- IV: The Great Debate -- V: The Frame of Man and its Ills -- VI: Ravished by Magic -- VII: The Uses of Mathematics -- VIII: The Organisation and Reorganisation of Science -- IX: Circles Appear in Physiology -- X: Circles Vanish from Astronomy -- XI: Debate among the Stars Epilogue.
