Über diesen Titel

Críticas

The Scientific Revolution in Global Perspective is a cutting-edge history of science that adopts an impressively broad scope, not only geographically, but historiographically as well...The book fill an unexploited niche and draws on cutting-edge scholarship in the process." (Andrew Keitt, University of Alabama at Birmingham)

The Scientific Revolution in Global Perspective is a clearly written text, rich with examples, that broadens the social context of the development of early modern western science. It places the major currents of the Scientific Revolution within the larger world of European trade and expansion and the use of new knowledge. In so doing, it reveals the wider motivations and global connections of scientific innovation." (William Kimler, North Carolina State University)

The integration of the global context is both convincing and seamless, creating an inviting narrative from which students will gain new perspective on the history of science and, in doing so, a new appreciation for the origins of the global, technological world around them." (Brian Jeffrey Maxson, East Tennessee State University)

Reseña del editor

In The Scientific Revolution in Global Perspective, William Burns places the Scientific Revolution, its causes and effects, in a global context. It breaks with the Eurocentric tradition of previous surveys to fully reimagine the emergence of modern science on a global scale. Based on cutting-edge scholarship, Burns fluidly integrates the history of the Scientific Revolution in a convincing and seamless fashion, providing the reader with a new appreciation for the origins of the global, technological world around them.
