This
book begins with a lively discussion of philosophical underpinnings of
science as conceived early by early Greek thinkers and continues through the developments
of middle Ages and Renaissance. It concludes with the exciting discoveries of the
Scientific Revolution in the 17th , when science, in the modern sense of the term, came
into being. Amply illustrated it offers a superb introduction, not only to great
scientists of early history, but to process of scientific discovery and to ideas that have
shaped our understanding of the natural world.
