The Transformation of Mathematics in the Early Mediterranean World: From Problems to Equations
ISBN: 9780521829960 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The transformation of mathematics from its ancient Greek practice to its development in the medieval Arab-speaking world is approached by focusing on a single problem proposed by Archimedes and the many solutions offered. From a practice of mathematics based on the localized solution (originating in the polemical practices of early Greek science), we see a transition to a practice of mathematics based on the systematic approach (grounded in the deuteronomic practices of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages). A radically new interpretation is accordingly offered of the historical trajectory of...

The Archimedes Palimpsest: Volume1, Catalogue and Commentary
ISBN: 9781107014572 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Archimedes Palimpsest is the name given to a Byzantine prayer-book which was written over a number of earlier manuscripts, including three unique examples containing works by Archimedes, unquestionably the greatest mathematician of antiquity. Sold at auction in 1998, it has since been the subject of a privately funded project to conserve, image and transcribe its texts. In this volume the scientists, conservators, classicists and historians involved in the project discuss in full their techniques and their discoveries. These include new speeches by the classical Athenian orator Hyperides,...

The Shaping of Deduction in Greek Mathematics: A Study in Cognitive History
ISBN: 9780521622790 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book provides a way to understand a momentous development in human intellectual history: the phenomenon of deductive argument in classical Greek mathematics. The argument rests on a close description of the practices of Greek mathematics, principally the use of lettered diagrams and the regulated, formulaic use of language.

Ludic Proof: Greek Mathematics and the Alexandrian Aesthetic
ISBN: 9780521898942 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book represents a new departure in science studies: an analysis of a scientific style of writing, situating it within the context of the contemporary style of literature. Its philosophical significance is that it provides a novel way of making sense of the notion of a scientific style. For the first time, the Hellenistic mathematical corpus - one of the most substantial extant for the period - is placed centre-stage in the discussion of Hellenistic culture as a whole. Professor Netz argues that Hellenistic mathematical writings adopt a narrative strategy based on surprise, a...

The Archimedes Palimpsest V02: Volume2, Images and Transcriptions
ISBN: 9781107014374 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Archimedes Palimpsest is the name given to a Byzantine prayer-book which was written over a number of earlier manuscripts. This volume provides colour images and transcriptions of three of the texts recovered from it. Pride of place goes to the treatises of Archimedes, including the only Greek version of Floating Bodies, and the unique copies of Method and Stomachion. This transcription provides many different readings from those made by Heiberg from what he termed Codex C in his edition of the works of Archimedes of 1910 1915. Secondly, fragments of two previously unattested speeches by...

Barbed Wire: An Ecology of Modernity
ISBN: 9780819569592 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this original and controversial book, historian and philosopher Reviel Netz explores the development of a controlling and pain-inducing technology--barbed wire. Surveying its development from 1874 to 1954, Netz describes its use to control cattle during the colonization of the American West and to control people in Nazi concentration camps and the Russian Gulag. Physical control over space was no longer symbolic after 1874. This is a history told from the perspective of its victims. With vivid examples of the interconnectedness of humans, animals, and the environment, this dramatic...
