In this new edition of the top-selling coursebook, seasoned
historians Peter J. Bowler and Iwan Rhys Morus expand on their
authoritative survey of how the development of science has shaped
our world. Exploring both the history of science and its influence
on modern thought, the authors chronicle the major developments in
scientific thinking, from the revolutionary ideas of the
seventeenth century to contemporary issues in genetics, physics,
and more. Designed for entry-level college courses and as a
single-volume introduction for the general reader, Bowler and Morus
present the history of science not as a series of names and dates
but as an interconnected and complex web of relationships joining
science and society. Thoroughly revised and expanded, the second
edition draws on the latest research and scholarship. It also
contains two entirely new chapters: one that explores the impact of
computing on the development of science and another that surveys
the complex interaction of Western science with the cultures of the
rest of the world.
