Chronicling the development of scientific ideas, practices, and institutions from pre-Socratic Greek philosophy to late-Medieval scholasticism, David C. Lindberg surveys all the most important themes in the history of science, including developments in cosmology, astronomy, mechanics, optics, alchemy, natural history, and medicine. In addition, he offers an illuminating account of the transmission of Greek science to medieval Islam and subsequently to medieval Europe.For decades this book has shaped the way students and scholars understand these critically formative periods of scientific development, and it continues to be essential to an understanding of the field. this updated second edition includes revisions on nearly every page, as well as several sections that have been completely rewritten. For example, the section on Islamic science was thoroughly retooled to reveal the magnitude and sophistication of medieval Muslim scientific achievement. And the book now reflects a sharper awareness of the importance of Mesopotamian science for the development of Greek astronomy. In all, the second edition of The Beginnings of Western Science captures the current state of our understanding of more than two millennia of science and promises to continue to inspire both students and general readers....1963713The Beginnings of Western Science404561https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-beginnings-of-western-science/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1224047/d7a8c315-b50e-4870-b5a9-e316096a8f68.jpg?v=638337650774800000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20109780226482040_W3siaWQiOiIzMmJjODQwNC0yOGM3LTQ2OTktYWZhYy1jZGYyYjAwMGVjMTgiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjU2MSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjE1Nywic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo0MDQsImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI1LTA3LTAxVDAwOjAwOjAwWiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9XQ==9780226482040_When it was first published in 1992, The Beginnings of Western Science was lauded as the first successful attempt ever to present a unified account of both ancient and medieval science in a single volume.
