A History of Science in World Cultures: Voices of Knowledge explores the developments in premodern science from a global perspective, demonstrating that scientific thought and influence cannot be confined to any one time period or culture. Covering Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, Greece, early Islam, and Mesoamerica, this volume discusses the scope of scientific and technological achievement in each civilization and how the knowledge it developed came to nourish the European Renaissance. Clearly presented and containing a variety of instructive illustrations, this book is the perfect text for all students of the history of science.
"Scholarly yet accessible, rich in detail yet thematically clear, ambitious yet balanced in scope."
Richard Beyler, Portland State University, USA
"For the past twenty years, Scott Montgomery has been in the forefront of studying the role that translation has played in the history of science. This book is a culmination of that work. In a bold inversion of how general histories of science are normally written, Montgomery and Kumar show how eight world cultures - each with its own knowledge-producing traditions - fed into what we now recognize as the 'Scientific Revolution' of 17th-century Europe. Readers will be impressed by just how much of that history can be told simply by following the movement of people and ideas across lands and languages. The result is an account of 'science as civilization' that is a worthy successor to the project first laid down a century ago by the founder of the history of science field, George Sarton."
