“There was no such thing as the Scientific Revolution, and this is a book about it.” With this provocative and apparently paradoxical claim, Steven Shapin begins his bold vibrant exploration of early modern science. In this classic of science history, Shapin takes into account the culture – the variety of beliefs, practices, and influences – that in the 1600s shaped the origins of the modern scientific worldview.
