There was no such thing as the Scientific Revolution, and this is a book about it. This study provides a brief survey and accessible guide to the most important aspects of the Scientific Revolution. As well as considering the development of the mathematical and experimental approaches to an understanding of the natural world, it looks at the crucial role of magical tradition in the origins of modern science and the importance of it in the shaping of the scientific endeavor. Written with the non-scientist in mind, it does not dwell on technical details but seeks to show the social, cultural, and intellectual factors which shaped the development of science in its formative stage and prepared the way for the predominance of science in modern Indian and Western culture.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Rimple Dhawan
Rimple Dhawan born on 7th July 1967. She has contributed in the area of chemistry physics, especially in organic/inorganic chemistry for the study of molecular structure and properties. She has also contributed to the study of principles of chemical bonding, conformation, chemical reactivity as well as electrical and magnetic properties of simple and complex molecules using molecular orbital and valence bond theoretical methods. She has combined her theoretical abilities with experimental skills, as evidenced by his indigenous fabrication of a number of spectrometers needed in her work. Her studies have uncovered biological activity in a number of new natural products. She is visiting faculty in various institutions. She has shared her knowledge in various conferences of national repute.
