De-centring the ‘big picture’:<i>The Origins of Modern Science</i>and the modern origins of science

Andrew Cunningham, Perry Williams · 1 Dec 1993

Like it or not, a big picture of the history of science is something which we cannot avoid.

Buffon, German Biology, and the Historical Interpretation of Biological Species

Phillip R. Sloan · 1 Jul 1979

The entry of time and history into biological systems of classification is perhaps the single most significant development in the history of biological systematics in the modern era.
