Description

Boldly challenging conventional wisdom, acclaimed science creator and Omni magazine cofounder Dick Teresi traces the origins of recent science back to their ancient roots in an eye-opening account and landmark work.
This innovative history proves once and for all that the roots of up to date science were established centuries, and in some instances millennia, before the births of Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton. On this enlightening, entertaining, and vital book, Teresi describes many discoveries from in every single place the non-Western world — Sumeria, Babylon, Egypt, India, China, Africa, Arab nations, the Americas, and the Pacific islands — that equaled and steadily surpassed Greek and European learning within the fields of mathematics, astronomy, cosmology, physics, geology, chemistry, and technology.
The first extensive and authoritative multicultural history of science written for a well-liked audience, Lost Discoveries fills a critical void in our scientific, cultural, and intellectual history and is destined to grow to be a classic in its field.
