Cormack, Lesley B., and Andrew Ede. A History of Science in Society: A Reader.
Peterborough, Ont.: Broadview, 2007. Print.
A collection of primary documents detailing the entire history of science, this book covers prescientific revolution, Greek, and even Muslim scientific background, and runs all the way
to Einstein and Cavendish. This book was extremely useful in establishing a historically
sound foundation of the historical context behind the scientific method.
Cottingham, John. Descartes. New York: B. Blackwell, 1986. Print.
This book devotes a chapter to each of Descartes achievements. It covers them in great detail,
such as how he discovered them and how they would effect others. This helped me
significantly in learning how reasoning ideals before the scientific method affected
scientists and philosophers, as well as how they affected the Scientific Method.
Dear, Peter. Revolutionizing the Sciences: European Knowledge and Its Ambitions, 15001700. N.p.: n.p., n.d. Print.
This book covers the entire formation of modern science in great detail. Starting from the
guesswork of Alchemy and leading up to the creation of medicinal science and physics,
this book shows what impacted and was impacted by the Scientific Revolution. This book
was helpful for me because it gave me a much deeper understanding of the events of the
Scientific Revolution.
