pp. 208, “Where did science come from? Historian of science Peter Dear examines the transitional period in detail in the slim Revolutionizing the Sciences. Designed as a textbook, its organisation should appeal to general readers as well. Dense but accessible, Dear’s prose encourages the reader to abandon preconceptions about medieval and Renaissance scientific understanding and investigation. Dear hopes to show that the Scientific Revolution, though vitally important, was actually a natural development from preceding philosophical thinking, and his arguments are compelling. “
