With the appearance of How Modern Science Came Into the World. Four Civilizations, One 17th Century Breakthrough I rounded off a forty years' search to come to grips with the how and why of the Scientific Revolution. A shorter version, written for a larger than just proferssional audience, appeared in 2015 with Cambridge University Press under the title The Rise of Modern Science Explained. A Comparative History.

In 2016 I published a book in Dutch (Het knagende weten) that has since been translated under the title 'Unsettling knowledge'.
