Publisher Synopsis
?What an exciting book for educators and students alike! The wealth of information in this book will be useful as a resource for student research or for teachers to use to enrich presentations. The discoveries of the 17th century are more remarkable because researchers lacked today's technology. From botanical classification to the vacuum pump, groundbreaking work was done primarily through patience and experimentation. The author has described 57 areas of discovery that illustrate the remarkable intellectual progress made during that time.?-NSTA Recommends Read more...
