Recenzii

'The entire set of volumes in this comprehensive work should eventually be found on the shelves of any institution of higher learning with a serious science program, and more broadly, in the libraries of academic institutions offering area studies programs and/or courses on the history of science and philosophy … Highly recommended.' C. G. Wood, Choice
'As one would expect from a Cambridge History volume dedicated to “ancient science,” this book provides a coherent and accessible overview of the history, sources, philosophy, and sociology of the principal fields of natural inquiry in the ancient world. I find it as invaluable as a reference book, since it is accessible for introductory reading, and it is a model, in my opinion, of the sort of questions and approach toward which the field is rightly moving.' Daniel Patrick Morgan, Journal of the American Oriental Society
