Harold J. Cook scrutinizes a wealth of historical documents relating to the study of medicine and natural history in the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe, Brazil, South Africa, and Asia during this era, and his conclusions are fresh and exciting. He uncovers direct links between the rise of trade and commerce in the Dutch Empire and the flourishing of scientific investigation. Cook argues that engaging in commerce changed the thinking of Dutch citizens, leading to a new emphasis on such values as objectivity, accumulation, and description. The preference for accurate information that accompanied the rise of commerce also laid the groundwork for the rise of science globally, wherever the Dutch engaged in trade. Medicine and natural history were fundamental aspects of this new science, as reflected in the development of gardens for both pleasure and botanical study, anatomical theaters, curiosity cabinets, and richly illustrated books about nature. Sweeping in scope and original in its insights, this book revises previous understandings of the history of science and ideas. 606 $aScience$zNetherlands$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aMedicine$zNetherlands$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aNetherlands$xCommerce$xHistory$y17th century 615 0$aScience$xHistory 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory 676 $a509.492/09032 686 $aNN 4020$2rvk 700 $aCook$b Harold John$01005649 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964010203321 996 $aMatters of exchange$94355077 997 $aUNINA
