The Scientific Revolution
From the publication of Copernicus' De Revolutionibus (1543), to the death of Isaac Newton (1627), there was an fundamental change in human thinking about nature. The essays in The Scientific Revolution explore this exciting period, showing its great triumphs but also investigating the false steps along the way.

I liked this book and how it traces science from the Greek through the Arabs past the Catholic Christian church to the modern failures in environmental concerns. The failure of sewage treatment in western society along with the idea of waste controls on CO2 seems very important. The printing press and the internet may be parallel in their long term impact of science? The articles and source materials are first rate here.
