Монография известного итальянского математика и историка науки, посвященная науке, технике и технологии эллинистического мира. На основании многих письменных свидетельств автор приходит к выводу, что Александрия, III век до н.э. - это место и время появления науки, обладавшей почти всеми характерными признаками науки современного типа. В числе достижений науки того периода автор видит, например, открытие закона инерции и его приложение к анализу движения планет, причем вокруг Солнца. Главными героями книги являются великие древнегреческие ученые: математик Евклид, астрономы Аристарх, Селевк и Гиппарх, физик Архимед, инженер Ктесибий, врачи Герофил и Эрасистрат. Анализируются причины последующего упадка античной науки, влияние сохранившихся произведений науки эллинистического мира на возрождение науки в XVI-XVII веках в Европе.

Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1996. - 630 pp. Few would argue that Richard Feynman was one of the greatest American-born theoretical physicists of the twentieth century, and fewer still would dispute that he was the most iconoclastic. In the words of the eminent mathematician Mark Kac, geniuses are of two kinds: the ordinary, and the magicians. Feynman was a magician of the highest caliber. No one could guess how his mind worked, how he could make tra...
