While scientific inquiry has its roots in both Far Eastern and Indo-European cultures, the revolutionary ideas that made modern scientific achievements possible occurred initially in Europe. This stimulating, illuminating, and thoughtfully presented work explores the early stages of this scientific revolution, beginning with the rediscovery of Greek ideas in the mid-15th century and culminating with Galileo's brilliant Dialogue on the Two Chief Systems of the World in 1630.Noted historian of science Marie Boas Hall first gives a general account of scientific thought in the mid-1400s, then examines the Copernican revolution and the anatomical work of Vesalius and his contemporaries, the impact of chemical medicine and the efforts of the Swiss physician and alchemist Paracelsus. Also here are insightful discussions of Harvey's discovery of the circulatory system, the work of Kepler, the effects of Galileo's telescopic discoveries, and other topics. A series of accompanying illustrations -- among them a Ptolemaic map, examples of Renaissance engineering, and portraits of Francis Bacon, Tycho Brahe, Vesalius, Kepler, and Galileo -- enhance this scholarly and informative work.
A valuable reference book for students of the history of science, The Scientific Renaissance 1450-1630 is "good, sound, academic stuff . . . interesting even to those for whom it is not required reading." -- New Statesman.

Nice balls but arrived with a bad chemical smell
Color: 12 Tennis Ball
Wonderful Product!!! The balls themselves are amazing and the squeaker in them my dog loves.
I am giving them only a three star because they arrived and they SMELL like chemicals so bad!!! I was afraid to give it to my dog so i washed one out and put it up hoping the chemical smell will go away. This not good for a dog as unknown chemicals can make them really sick. Whatever amazon is spraying on their stuff it's not good

Puppy tested & approved
Color: 12 Tennis Ball
I ordered these squeaky tennis balls for my cocker spaniel. She absolutely loves these tennis balls with the squeakers in them! She plays with them all day, and chews on them frequently. We have not had any problems with her, breaking the tennis balls, which is generally the issue we have with her. The tennis ball fuzz stays on the ball very well, which is usually an issue with standard tennis balls, because my dog likes to peel off the yellow fuzz on all tennis balls. She has not been able to do that with these. I will definitely be buying these again , but will not need to anytime soon as these are extremely well built.

Dog toy that lasts.
Size: 5 Pack
I've got a heavy chewer on my hands, so I've basically thrown money away on countless "durable" toys that get shredded in minutes. I was skeptical about these, but the "no stuffing" design caught my eye—at least there wouldn't be fluff all over my living room!
I'm happy to report that these have actually lasted! My dog loves shaking them around and making them squeak.
The crinkle sound is a huge bonus; it really keeps him engaged.
The fact that they're lightweight makes them perfect for a game of fetch, and my dog can easily carry them around.
For the price, getting a whole bundle of these is a great deal. If you're tired of cleaning up toy stuffing, I'd definitely recommend giving these a try.

Great toy that stands up to tough dogs
Size: 5 Pack
When these toys first arrived and I opened the box I was disappointed. They seemed a bit flimsy and were not what I was expecting Boy was I wrong! My dog lived his new toy and it’s has not left his side. Best of all, it’s a tough little toy that can take a beating and keep going. My dog usually tears through his toys in a matter of hours, and I tried numerous toys over the years. I’ve tried Kevlar toys, toy that claim to be very sturdy, he always destroyed them in a matter of hours. This toy looks flimsy, but it’s soft and strong
