520 _aThis collection of readings on what is often called the "Scientific Revolution" brings together fourteen articles from the leading journal in the history of science, and combines traditional scholarship with revisionist approaches to the major themes of the period. This carefully-structured collection will help readers (students and specialists alike) approach complex questions - involving argument and experiment, audience and agency, authority and institutions - that surround this crucial era.
