DJ/Fine w/a whisper of rubs to corner tips. Intellectual history of the 16th century via the biography genre from British science writer Philip Ball (1962 -) celebrated for The Critical Mass (2004, Aventis Science Book Prize). In this book Ball deftly brings to life the intellectually rich & fertile times, albeit beset w/social discord, of the Renaissance via his colorful subject --- Switzerland born Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim (1493 - 1541), who referred to himself as Paracelsus. Through his life we see the "intellectual ferment" leading to a new age of science & rationalism.
