"In this book, Margaret Jacob provides a lucid introduction to the transformation in science that occurred in Europe between 1500 and 1750. While acknowledging the importance of political, social, and economic factors, Jacob rightly emphasizes the intellectual developments that led to the modern mechanical and quantitative world views. A carefully chosen set of documents allows the reader to grapple firsthand with these heady changes." — Brian Ogilvie, University of Massachusetts Amherst "The introduction and headnotes are excellent. The documents are very well organized and clearly trace the progression of the Scientific Revolution." — Constantina Gaddis, Onondaga Community College
