Omschrijving
Reading Newton in Early Modern Europe investigates how, when, where and why Newton’s Principia was interpreted by readers in Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, England and Ireland. University textbooks and popular simplified vernacular texts created new audiences for early modern science.
“This is a well-balanced collection that will be of great value to Newtonian scholars. Summing up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, and faculty.” M. Dickinson, Maine Maritime Academy. In: Choice Connect, Vol. 55, No. 5 (January 2018). “This is a collection that includes a number of important papers, and it should not be overlooked by anyone with a serious interest in Newton or in eighteenth-century Newtonianism.” John Henry, University of Edinburgh (emeritus). In: Isis, Vol. 110, No. 1 (March 2019), pp. 168–169. “The volume Reading Newton in Early Modern Europe is an exemplary treatment of how revolutionary science becomes de rigeur, through its introduction, opposition to, and eventual overtaking of the preexisting paradig, in this brilliant composite study of how Newton’s mathematical and physical theories changed the nature of science, as taught and understood in early modern Europe.” Cheryl Kayahara-Bass, Oshawa, ON. In: Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. 50, No. 2 (Summer 2019), pp. 557–560.
