A History of Science in World Cultures 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 impact 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.
