Companion to the History of Modern Science (Hardcover)

Focusing on traditions of scientific investigation which began in Europe in the 16th century and spread rapidly across the globe, "Companion to the History of Modern Science" is a new reference source that provides an authoritative and analytical guide to the development of Western science. The "Companion" covers all relevant major developments from 1500 right on up to the present day, examining modern science as a truly interdisciplinary field.
Divided into two major parts, the "Companion" contains a thorough index that makes sought-after information readily accessible. Part One examines the relationship between science and history, describing the methods and problems of research in the history of science, the available systems of historical interpretation, and the philosophical problems concerning questions of discovery and reality. Part Two applies these methods to a wide range of fields, from the work of Newton to the topics of relativity and genetic engineering.
