Are there any good books on how the scientific revolution of the 16th century brought about that "science" and "philosophy" started to mean different things?

I can't think of a book that covers this topic explicitly (/u/wokeupabug might know one). It's a hard topic, in part because the change is not at all abrupt. "Scientia" has a distinct meaning before the 17th century (that's the century you want, by the way), but isn't really applied to science as we now understand it until Galileo's *Two New Sciences* and even after that not consistently. And the term "scientist" doesn't come into being until the mid-19th century, when it was coined by an anonymous commentator on Mary Sommerville and popularized by William Whewell. 

What you see in the meantime is a slow disassociation of what we now think of as philosophical concerns from those of physics and biology. But this change didn't happen overnight. Critics raised philosophical objections to Galileo's work (and lost). They raised philosophical objections to Newton's work (and lost). They raised philosophical objections to Darwin's work (and lost). And they raised philosophical objections to Einstein's work (and lost). (You might note a pattern here.) So it's not a simple story by any means.
