	Special Collections The Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology About the Dibner Library
		This interest led him to obtain a small library (eventually called the Burndy Library) of works about da Vinci which grew over the years as Dibner's interests expanded into the history of electricity, the history of Renaissance technology, and finally the history of science and technology in general.
		In 1974 Bern Dibner donated one-quarter of the Burndy Library's holdings to the Smithsonian Institution to form the nucleus of a research library in the history of science and technology to be located in the young (established 1964) National Museum of History and Technology (now the National Museum of American History, Behring Center).
		Postscript: The original Burndy Library remained in Norwalk until Bern Dibner's death in 1988, after which the contents were moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where it became the research library for the Dibner Institute for the History of Science and Technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

	Western Culture Encyclopedia Article @ NaturalResearch.org (Natural Research)
		Owing to the influence of Arab culture—a culture that had preserved the knowledge of ancient Greece and Rome—in Moorish Spain and in the Levant during the Crusades, Western Europe rediscovered its Greek heritage in the 1300s, and the Renaissance was born.
		Renaissance Western culture was spread to the New World and beyond in the 1500s by explorers, colonists, traders, and missionaries.
		Therefore, the impact of "modernization" and "modern" technology may not merely be "scientific" (that is, physical) but may possibly be closely linked with a certain culture, that of the West, such that without such technology, Western culture today would have been dramatically different from how it is known in actual historical and contemporary times.

	Xavier Zubiri: Science, Nature, Reality
		The development of experimental science in the late medieval and renaissance periods led to a different view of nature, identified now with phenomena, and understood by most as replacing the Aristotelian view, which was deemed inadequate for supplying knowledge of the world.
		It is this complex of problems that Xavier Zubiri has sought to unravel, basing himself on the history of philosophy and the development of science, especially physical science in the twentieth century.
		Science, which to some degree had its origin in a 'desire to know about the world,' is not the logical development of episteme or the 'true' heir to it; rather, science is a different type of knowledge about the world, which does not supplant philosophy or render it useless and outmoded.

	The Progress of Science (1887)
		Physical science has thus been brought into the closest relation with history and with archæology; and the striking investigations which, during our time, have put beyond doubt the vast antiquity of Babylonian and Egyptian civilisation, are in perfect harmony with the conclusions of anthropology as to the antiquity of the human species.
		By a happy chance, the first edition of Whewell's "History of the Inductive Sciences" was published in 1837, and it affords a very useful view of the state of things at the commencement of the Victorian epoch.
		The burden of Bacon's pleadings for science is the "gathering of fruit"–the importance of winning solid material advantages by the investigation of Nature and the desirableness of limiting the application of scientific methods of inquiry to that field.
