Scientific Practices in European History, 1200-1800 presents and
situates a collection of extracts from both widely known texts by
such figures as Copernicus, Newton, and Lavoisier, and lesser known
but significant items, all chosen to provide a perspective on
topics in social, cultural and intellectual history and to
illuminate the concerns of the early modern period. The selection
of extracts highlights the emerging technical preoccupations of
this period, while the accompanying introductions and annotations
make these occasionally complex works accessible to students and
non-specialists. The book follows a largely chronological sequence
and helps to locate scientific ideas and practices within broader
European history. The primary source materials in this collection
stand alone as texts in themselves, but in illustrating the
scientific components of early modern societies they also make this
book ideal for teachers and students of European history.
