Description:
Science began with the Greeks. Medicine, anatomy, astronomy, mathematics and cosmology were all invented in their world. Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Archimedes and Hippocrates were amongst its stars, master architects all of the modern as well as the ancient.
Synopsis:
That man ever managed to develop to 'scientific' attitude to the natural world is one of true wonders of human thought. And answering the question of where and how this attitude began can help us understand the world we live in and the science that governs it. Science began with the Greeks. But is Greek science something we would recognise today? This superbly approachable book has won many plaudits since publication late in 2001.
