"Rossi presents in intelligent and informative ways glimpses of the
worldviews, concepts, and instruments that are at the root of
modern science, and how these came to be ... The book is clearly
the work of a scholar who knows his materials and understands what
science is all about, making it an eminently good piece of work."

"The greatest strength of this work comes out of Rossi's extensive and deep knowledge of the primary sources that he analyzes throughout. His discussions of key texts and of the positions of significant figures are detailed and useful. He provides clear summaries of an impressive number of texts... The nonspecialists targeted as the readers of this work will discover early modern science to be a richly complex and fascinating subject that can be studied with an abundance of primary sources."
