Volume 3 offers a broad and detailed account of how the study of nature
was transformed in Europe between ca. 1500 and ca. 1700. Chapters on how
nature was studied, where, and by whom cover disciplines from astronomy
and astrology to magic and natural history, sites of knowledge from the laboratory
and the battlefield to the library and the marketplace, and types
of knowers, from university professors and apothecaries to physicians and
instrument makers.
