The Scientific Revolution Series

Product Description

Scholars from the University of California, Los Angeles, and California Lutheran University share their insights. Europe experienced one of the most remarkable periods in history roughly between 1550 and 1700, when three of history’s most important events were occurring simultaneously: the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Scientific Revolution. The three closely connected movements had a profound impact on Western society, and the Scientific Revolution led eventually to the Industrial Revolution. Worldwide exploration, which preceded the Scientific Revolution by half a century, also contributed to the insatiable desire to know more about our world and the universe.
