John L. Heilbron Knihy

How does the physics we know today - a highly professionalised enterprise, inextricably linked to government and industry - link back to its origins as a liberal art in Ancient Greece? Heilbron's crisp and witty book tells the 2500-year story and highlights the implications for humankind's self-understanding.
