I'm nearly done with this book, "Beginnings of Western Science", which I picked up because someone mentioned it on here in passing and the subject matter looked interesting.

Now that I've decided to begin this investigation on the history of Western science, I was wondering what book(s) would nicely complete this study, preferably filling from the Renaissance to contemporary.

Btw, the book is pretty good and I would recommend it if for a study of the history of science in the West, but frankly, when I picked this book up to read I thought I was going to uncover some esoteric knowledge about forgotten methods of conducting science, but the author doesn't seem totally interested in that sort of thing. He is more just giving a straightforward chronological history of Western science, but he is fair to the men mentioned in each period. He isn't like an r/athiest plebbitor that spergs about Paganism or Christianity.

Has to be bait or else they're just retarded.
"Aritotelian-Medeval worldview." Prescience was holistic and everything revolved around Aristotle, I don't see how that could be news to anyone (or how they could see it as Aquinas "ripping off" Aristotle...everything was literally systmatized around him). See pic.
