Revolutionizing the Sciences by Peter Robert Dear (2001, Paperback, Illustrated)

This softcover textbook was purchased for an upper division History of Science course. The content covered discusses the development of science between the end of the Middle Ages up to the beginning of the 20th Century. Reading through the book itself is a bit of a chore, as Peter Dear is quite fond of being as verbose as possible; however, it is set up to be read similar to a story, or described in a way a friend would share information about this era.
