The genesis of science

"Focusing on ten different branches of science, Bertman shows why the Greeks gravitated toward each specialty and explains the fascinating theories they developed, the brilliant experiments they performed, and the practical applicatons of their discoveries. He concludes by recounting how these early insights and achievements--transmitted over the course of two thousand years--have shaped the scientific attitude that is the hallmark of today's world."--Jacket.
