Reading
the History of Western Science Thousands of books have been written on the
history of Western science. The list below gives details and brief
descriptions of a hundred or so that are especially good introductions to the
field (or parts of it). The list is, by design, selective and idiosyncratic.
The books on it were chosen because they combine solid scholarship, broad
coverage, and an accessible style. Most include extensive bibliographies of
more specialized books and articles. Virtually all are in print as of this
writing [Fall 1998], and should be readily available through large bookstores
and their on-line equivalents.
