From Plato to Einstein, via Copernicus and Darwin, this fascinating text shows how
science came to be such a dominating and important aspect of modern culture.
Presented as a lively and highly readable narrative, it provides a rich historical
survey of the major developments in scientific thought, from the Ancient Greeks
to the twentieth century. Along the way, John Henry revises many false
assumptions that have been made about the history of science and offers new
interpretations. Grounded firmly upon the latest historical scholarship, the book
explains how new scientific theories have emerged and analyses their impact on
contemporary thinking.
A Short History ofScientificThought places the history of science within its social,
cultural and historical contexts, covering key topics such as:
*
the relationship between science and religion
*
the history of science and magic
*
experimental and mechanical philosophy
*
Newton s legacy
*
theories of evolution.
