Features: This book attempts to provide a fairly complete account of the achievements in the entire field of "natural" knowledge during the 16th and 17th centuries. All sciences, including those that have not yet been incorporated into the history of science, have been given due attention, and the important work done by each science during these two early centuries of modern times is detailed. Major branches of technology also occupy a considerable amount of space. Additionally, this volume provides a comprehensive discussion of the philosophy of this period to help understand the general intellectual tendencies of the scientists of the time.
