The papers collected in The Scientific Enterprise in Early Modern Europe,
edited by Peter Dear, are hardly for the general reader. But for students of the
history of science, these studies of (among other topics) early astronomy,
patronage and science, and the early Royal Society, are the pick of the crop.
Gleaned from Isis, the journal of the History of Science Society. Published by
