Bøker av Mark A. Peterson

Peterson investigates how recent presidents have engaged Congress on domestic policy issues. Rejecting the presidency-centered perspective on national government, so firmly rooted in the popular imagination, he argues that Congress's to presidential initiatives is often far more cooperative than the presidency-centered perspective suggests.

Mark Peterson makes an extraordinary claim in this fascinating book focused around the life and thought of Galileo: it was the mathematics of Renaissance arts, not Renaissance sciences, that became modern science. Painters, poets, musicians, and architects brought about a scientific revolution that eluded the philosopher-scientists of the day.
