The genesis of science - the story of Greek imagination
The names we give to science's many branches today - from physics and chemistry to mathematics, biology, and psychology - echo the Greek words that were first used to define these disciplines in ancient times and remain a testament to the groundbreaking discoveries of these pioneering thinkers. What was is about the Greeks, as opposed to the far older civilizations, that gave rise to the uniquely Western scientific mind-set? This book explores this question in a story about the origins of science.
