Ancient science is often characterized as a blend of superstition, magic, and wild speculation, in contrast to modern science, which is considered the product of enlightened minds. This sharp distinction between ancient and modern science is challenged in this work, which explores more than 4,000 years of scientific inquiry from 4000 BCE to 500 CE." "A compilation of the best available scholarship, Science in the Ancient World: An Encyclopedia details the lively and rigorous world of ancient science, from the beginning of recorded history to the fall of the Roman Empire. Ancient science was rigorous and systematic, and it laid the groundwork for modern scientific inquiry. This book provides readers an introduction to the world of ancient science - the people, the centers of learning, the schools of thought, and more."--BOOK JACKET.
