If anyone would like to tackle biology, botany, medicine, mathematics, geology, etc., these are some recommended general references that I used:
General introductions:
Burns, William E. 2003. Science in the Enlightenment. Santa Barbara, CA: ABC-CLIO.
--Has information on all relevant disciplines, the major players of each, and contains bibliographical references for further reading.
McClellan, James Edward and Harold Dorn (2006). Science and Technology in World History: An Introduction. JHU Press.
--Standard 'Introduction to the History of Science' textbook. Good place to start. It's cheap too.
Porter, Roy, ed. 2003. The Cambridge History of Science. Vol. 4. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
--Heavier text than the other two, but also contains a lot more information. Volume four is specifically about 18th c. science. I would recommend this text over McClellan and Dorn, but it's a good companion to Burns.
If anyone requires additional sources for a specific discipline, feel free to ask. It would be nice to see this article become either a good or featured article. Poor 18th c. science gets no love.
