Astonishing Ancient World Scientists
Scientific inquiry is not a modern phenomenon. People have always been curious about the world around them. To that end, some people stepped forward and used logic and reason to solve the mysteries of the natural world. Author Amy Graham profiles eight of these scientific pioneers: Pythagoras, Hippocrates, Aristotle, Archimedes, Galen, Ptolemy, Zhang Heng, and al-Khwarizmi.
* Reviews *
Great Scientists and Famous Inventors series. The achievements of well-chosen personalities are highlighted in each volume. Meaningful depth of information is compromised by the plethora of extraneous inclusions on most pages: website screen shots, sidebars, photographs that may or may not be relevant to the texts, etc. Some content is there if readers can find it.
