Ancient cultures have been looking up at the stars for thousands of years, wondering about their place in the universe. What were those glowing spots in the black cover of night? Just how far away was the moon? These and other questions hounded humanity through the millennia until, finally, relative economic stability allowed for a number of people to examine their world more closely. Slowly, knowledge and understanding accumulated generation by generation until the conditions were ideal enough for a revolution to occur in thinking, experimentation, worldview, and natural philosophy.
It was the Scientific Revolution, the time period when Western theologians had more and better tools to measure and make sense of the things around them. With careful measurements, precise data collection, and an unwavering sense of curiosity, humankind stepped into the future. The truly magnificent feature of this time period, besides, of course, the scientific discoveries themselves, was the kinship between philosophers, scientists, and experimental hobbyists throughout Europe. Hundreds, if not thousands, of letters between great intellectuals such as Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Robert Hooke, and Tycho Brahe have been preserved, demonstrating how these men (and a few women) worked in cooperation with one another in order to better their own research.

I find it enthralling to think how mankind has changed through the early years of our history to where we are at today. This book explains another age when we were starting to question they why and the how’s of our world and as such explore new avenues in our ways of thinking.
This book does a good job of explaining how science came about, how it started to become more specialist and also the names of many great scientists who came up with concepts that shape the world we live in today.
Definitely deserves to be read, I now have a pretty good knowledge of the age of enlightenment, the dark ages, the middle ages and soon to be the renaissance period to and all thanks to captivating history.
A good source of reading material to become more aware of our past.
