Cosmology in Antiquity
ISBN: 9780415083720 / Angielski / Twarda / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The popularity of Stephen Hawking's work has put cosmology back in the public eye.

Though their solutions are little credited today, the questions remain fresh. The early Greek thinkers struggled to come to terms with and explain the totality of their surroundings, to identitify an original substance from which the universe was compounded, and to reconcile the...
