520    "Seventeenth-century Europe witnessed an extraordinary 
       flowering of discoveries and innovations. This study, 
       beginning with the Dutch-invented telescope of 1608, casts
       Galileo's discoveries into a global framework. Although 
       the telescope was soon transmitted to China, Mughal India,
       and the Ottoman Empire, those civilizations did not 
       respond as Europeans did to the new instrument. In Europe,
       there was an extraordinary burst of innovations in 
       microscopy, human anatomy, optics, pneumatics, electrical 
       studies, and the science of mechanics. Nearly all of those
       aided the emergence of Newton's revolutionary grand 
       synthesis, which unified terrestrial and celestial physics
       under the law of universal gravitation. That achievement 
       had immense implications for all aspects of modern science,
       technology, and economic development. The economic 
       implications are set out in the concluding epilogue. All 
       these unique developments suggest why the West experienced
       a singular scientific and economic ascendancy of at least 
       four centuries"--|cProvided by publisher.
