Recenzii

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."
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."
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."
