These assorted merchants, gardeners, barber-surgeons, midwives, instrument makers, mathematics teachers, engineers, alchemists, and other experimenters Deborah Harkness contends formed a patchwork scientific community whose practices set the stage for the Scientific Revolution. While Francis Bacon has been widely regarded as the father of modern science, scores of his London contemporaries also deserve a share in this distinction. It was their collaborative, yet often contentious, ethos that helped to develop the ideals of modern scientific research. The book examines six particularly fascinating episodes of scientific inquiry and dispute in sixteenth-century London, bringing to life the individuals involved and the challenges they faced. These men and women experimented and invented, argued and competed, waged wars in the press, and struggled to understand the complexities of the natural world. Together their stories illuminate the blind alleys and surprising twists and turns taken as medieval philosophy gave way to the empirical, experimental culture that became a hallmark of the Scientific Revolution. 606 $aScience$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aScience, Renaissance 606 $aNatural history$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y16th century 607 $aLondon (England)$xIntellectual life$y16th century 607 $aLondon (England)$xSocial conditions$y16th century 607 $aLondon (England)$xSocial life and customs$y16th century 615 0$aScience$xHistory 615 0$aScience, Renaissance. 615 0$aNatural history$xHistory 676 $a509.42109031 686 $aAK 17304$2rvk 700 $aHarkness$b Deborah$f1965-$01602095 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822705703321 996 $aThe Jewel house$93925948 997 $aUNINA
