Description: The Spatial Reformation offers a sweeping history of the way Europeans conceived of three-dimensional space, between 1350 and 1850, and calls for a deliberate reconsideration not only of what constitutes the intellectual foundation of the early modern era but also of its temporal range.
Review Quotes: "The Spatial Reformation is ambitious and original, and its key contention that Euclidean space reshaped the European intellectual and cultural landscape is entirely convincing. The book is also filled with a plethora of surprising insights on topics ranging from early modern terrestrial globes to Enlightenment extraterrestrial. It is not, to be sure, an easy read. But it is well worth the effort."-- "Journal of Modern History"
