Industry Reviews
Shea (history and philosophy of science, McGill U.) provides a comprehensive (though by no means exhaustive) survey of Descartes' scientific career from his student days at the Jesuit College of La Fleche. The math is confined to one chapter (which the author asserts can be skipped if necessary). The final chapter discusses how Descartes found a way of publishing his ideas without incurring a fate similar to Galileo's. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
