Such issues arise in any  consideration of the transmission and appropriation of scientific  concepts and practices that originated in the several `centers' of  European learning, subsequently to appear (often in considerably  altered guise) in regions at the European periphery. They discuss the  transfer of new scientific ideas, the mechanisms of their  introduction, and the processes of their appropriation at the  periphery. The themes that frame the discussions of the complex  relationship between the origination of ideas and their reception  include the ways in which the ideas of the Scientific Revolution were  introduced, the particularities of their expression in each place, the  specific forms of resistance encountered by these new ideas, the  extent to which such expression and resistance displays national  characteristics, the procedures through which new ways of dealing with  nature were made legitimate, and the commonalities and differences  between the methods developed by scholars for handling scientific  issues.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-02-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792365631\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4770-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 224\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358919585932,"sku":"9780792365631","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792365631.jpg?v=1779039756","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792365631","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
