Revolutions in Science (1500 – 1700)
Science Highlights: A Gareth Stevens Timeline Series
This book covers two centuries when amateur scientists—natural philosophers—began to use close observation and orderly experimentation to understand processes that had previously been explained by religion or superstition. By 1700, a new faith had emerged: a trust in the potential of human reason. This thrilling narrative is supported by photographs and illustrations, timelines and sidebars, and a host of other features that make exploration of this era accessible, entertaining, and unforgettable.
