Items received by the New World included sugarcane, coffee, and horses
Negative consequences included slavery and disease

Science and the Scientific Revolution

Was a wave of scholars proposing a new way of thinking that transformed society through the elevation of science as the source of truth
Key to this was the scientific method, developed by Francis Bacon
The Scientific Revolution began when Copernicus published a book that challenged the view of the Earth as the center of the universe
The climax of the Scientific Revolution was when Isaac Newton published his series of books, which used the scientific method to challenge many of the oldest traditional assumptions about the universe
The Scientific Revolution established science, supported through experiments, as the source of truth, completely changing how society looked at and understood the universe

Medicine and Chemistry in the 16th and 17th Centuries

Saw medicine and chemistry come into their own as disciplines
Occurred largely due to the increased emphasis on empiricism by the scientists of the period
Pioneering dissections, endless experimentation, and dedication to notation and observation led to the development of medicine and chemistry as highly specialized disciplines
