Description

 							
  
  
  Book:---
  
  To understand modern science, it is
essential to recognize that many of the most fundamental scientific principles are drawn from the knowledge of ancient
civilizations. Taking a global yet comprehensive approach to this complex topic, A History of Science in World Cultures
uses a broad range of case studies and examples to demonstrate that the scientific thought and method of the present day
is deeply rooted in a pluricultural past.
  
  Covering ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, Greece, China,
Islam, and the New World, this volume discusses the scope of scientific and technological achievements in each
civilization and how the knowledge it developed came to impact the European Renaissance. Themes covered include the
influence these scientific cultures had upon one another, the power of writing and its technologies, visions of
mathematical order in the universe and how it can be represented, and what elements of the distant scientific past we
continue to depend upon today. Topics often left unexamined in histories of science are treated in fascinating detail,
such as the chemistry of mummification and the Great Library in Alexandria in Egypt, jewellery and urban planning of the
Indus Valley, hydraulic engineering and the compass in China, the sustainable agriculture and dental surgery of the
Mayas, and algebra and optics in Islam.
  
  This book shows that scientific thought has never been confined
to any one era, culture, or geographic region. Clearly presented and highly illustrated, A History of Science in World
Cultures is the perfect text for all students and others interested in the development of science throughout history.
  
  Editorial Reviews
  
 
Review
  "Scholarly yet accessible, rich in detail yet thematically clear, ambitious yet balanced in scope."
 

  Richard Beyler, Portland State University, USA
  
  "For the past twenty years, Scott Montgomery has
been in the forefront of studying the role that translation has played in the history of science. This book is a
culmination of that work. In a bold inversion of how general histories of science are normally written, Montgomery and
Kumar show how eight world cultures – each with its own knowledge-producing traditions – fed into what we
now recognize as the ‘Scientific Revolution’ of 17th-century Europe. Readers will be impressed by just how
much of that history can be told simply by following the movement of people and ideas across lands and languages. The
result is an account of ‘science as civilization’ that is a worthy successor to the project first laid down
a century ago by the founder of the history of science field, George Sarton."
