A Short History of Science to the Nineteenth Century

By Charles Singer

This early work on scientific history is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains details of the developments and pivotal moments in science from the ancient Greeks to the nineteenth century. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for anyone with an interest in the history of science. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Reviews for A Short History of Science to the Nineteenth Century

[thebosel · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Superseded by a later book by the same author "A Short History of Scientific Ideas to 1900", which has almost the same text, maps, etc, but with additions. The latter book is, in my opinion, one of the best general science history books and is very readable.

interesting and eclectic summary of scientific thought and technical development starting with the Greeks and moving to western europeans contributions. Much time spent on Arab and Jewish influences. Pen and ink drawings.
