We talk about a lot of books found back in the day about creatures and old engineering. One of the earliest books to explain how machines and motion work, John Wilkins' Mathematical Magick tried to prove that machines are not magic; they were based upon real scientific ideas. The book is divided into two separate parts: one that deals with explaining simple machines such as levers and pulleys, while the other pertains to creative inventions such as early flying machines and robots. His work brings forth the idea of how people in the 1600s were starting to become more interested in experiments and math along with new technology. For that very reason, today, the book can be regarded as one of the milestones within the history of science. Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica by Sir Isaac Newton probably stands out as one of the most important science books ever to be written. Newton explains his famous laws of motion and his law of gravity in a mathematical manner, thus helping science turn into a subject of numbers and proofs. In simpler words, one of the biggest ideas he brought along was that the same force which makes things fall on Earth is the very entity that controls how planets move around in space. The second edition had clearer explanations and stronger proofs with the help he received from Roger Cotes. This book came to be a symbol of enlightenment and laid the premise for modern physics. The Conjuror’s Magazine by Johann Caspar Lavater is a unique example of a journal that combined supernatural ideas with the fascination of science and psychology that was growing in its time. Lavater himself was known for stating that one could judge the character of a person by their facial features. The journal contained magical instructions, meanings of dreams, and even astrology; however, it also included scientific diagrams, which show how people were caught between the two worlds of science and superstition. It reflects a culture that wanted both enlightenment and mystery. Today, this magazine helps us understand how people slowly shifted from using magical explanations to scientific ones, therefore making this magazine an important example in a historical context for changing beliefs. This artifact is an important book by John Webster, a physician-theologian who argued against the belief in witchcraft. Since science was not recognized by many in those times, many believed that strange events were caused by witches. Webster countered this belief, stating that such happenings were the result of natural causes or misunderstandings. Due to the church's disagreement with him, it was very difficult for him to find a publisher for the book, and so he sought to forward his work to the Royal Society. They approved the work chiefly due to the support of his friend Sir Jonas Moore. Today, the book is considered one of the first to dismiss witchcraft and nurture evidence-based reasoning. The following article presents a well-known book on animals written in 1607 by a minister named Edward Topsell, who believed that studying these animals would help people be grateful for God's creation. By that time, most Europeans had never seen a rhinoceros, and the exotic beast seemed mysterious. Topsell featured a picture of the rhino that was incorrect, instead depicting it with plates of armor and a small supplementary horn. It was lifted from the artist Albrecht Dürer, who had also never seen a real rhinoceros. Though the picture was wrong, it went on to become one of history's most famous animal illustrations.
