The Encyclopedia of Ancient Natural Scientists is the first
comprehensive English language work to provide a survey of all
ancient natural science, from its beginnings through the end of
Late Antiquity. A team of over 100 of the world's experts in the
field have compiled this Encyclopedia, including entries which are
not mentioned in any other reference work - resulting in a unique
and hugely ambitious resource which will prove indispensable for
anyone seeking the details of the history of ancient science.
Additional features include a Glossary, Gazetteer, and Time-Line.
The Glossary explains many Greek (or Latin) terms difficult to
translate, whilst the Gazetteer describes the many locales from
which scientists came. The Time-Line shows the rapid rise in the
practice of science in the 5th century BCE and rapid decline after
Hadrian, due to the centralization of Roman power, with consequent
loss of a context within which science could flourish.
