The Origins of Modern Science is the first synthetic account of the
history of science from antiquity through the Scientific Revolution
in many decades. Providing readers of all backgrounds and students
of all disciplines with the tools to study science like a
historian, Ofer Gal covers everything from Pythagorean mathematics
to Newton's Principia, through Islamic medicine, medieval
architecture, global commerce and magic. Richly illustrated
throughout, scientific reasoning and practices are introduced in
accessible and engaging ways with an emphasis on the complex
relationships between institutions, beliefs and political
structures and practices. Readers gain valuable new insights into
the role that science plays both in history and in the world today,
placing the crucial challenges to science and technology of our
time within their historical and cultural context.
