Hankins; Edited by George Basalla and William Coleman Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1985 Contents: Science and the Enlightenment is a general history of eighteenth-century science covering both the physical and life sciences. It places the scientific developments of the century in the cultural context of the Enlightenment and reveals the extent to which scientific ideas permeated the thought of the age. The book takes advantage of topical scholarship, which is rapidly changing our understanding of science during the eighteenth century. In particular it describes how science was organized into fields that were quite different from those we know today.

His study is not technical; it will be of interest to all students of the Enlightenment and the history of science, as well as to the general reader with some background in science Science,Khoa học History,Lịch sử Tô Chánh Trung, Phan Thanh Thảo Trung tâm Học liệu Trường Đại học Cần Thơ
