HISTORY OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY SCIENCE - Directed by Paolo Rossi
(Storia della Scienza moderna e contemporanea)

The Storia della Scienza Moderna e Contemporanea looks at the development of the history of scientific thinking from the times of Copernicus to the present.
This publication has been conceived as a unit in order to provide a compact and practical panorama. Therefore, mathematics, biology or physics are not dealt with specifically or individually, but there is an overall historical picture from which the relationships between the various disciplines, ideas and cultures in differing eras become apparent.
The study starts with the Renaissance and its scientific revolution, because it was only in this period that science began to emerge as a specific branch of learning with the characteristics that we still acknowledge today.
The publication is composed of five tomes, containing CXXII-3188 pages, as follows:
- Volume I: Dalla Rivoluzione Scientifica all'Età dei Lumi (From the Scientific Revolution to the Age of Light)
- Volume II: Dall'Età Romantica alla Società Industriale (From the Age of Romanticism to the Industrial Society - 2 tomes)
- Volume III: Il Secolo Ventesimo (The Twentieth Century - 2 tomes) The Storia della Scienza Moderna e Contemporanea has been edited by a team of specialists led by professor Paolo Rossi, one of the top international scholars of philosophy and history of science.
