520			_aThis one-volume reference resource comprehensively discusses science from 1550 to the present. Importantly, it stresses on technological ideas, discoveries and institutions that have shaped the world. It also traces the spread of science from its traditional centers and explains how the prevailing knowledge of non-Western societies has modified or contributed to the dominant global science.
