Apollonius on Conic Sections, Books I-III.A revised edition of Taliaferro's translation of the first three books of Apollonius's Conics. This 3rd Century BCE work displays astonishing virtuosity in the treatment of conic sections in the classical synthetic geometrical manner. It is the culmination of Greek geometry and, in turn, provided a basis for the work of modern mathematicians and scientists such as Vieta, Descartes, Kepler, and Newton.

Aristotle's Metaphysics.Joe Sachs has followed up his success with his translation of Aristotle's Physics with a new translation of Metaphysics. Sachs's translation brings distinguished new light onto this Aristotle's work, which is foundational to history of science, opening up Aristotle's original thought to readers by using Aristotle's everyday language rather than abstract Latinate words which distort his meaning.
|
Aristotle's On the Soul and On Memory and Recollection.We continue Joe Sachs's new translations of Aristotle with On the Soul, a work that contains not only Aristotle's treatment of the psyche but also his theory of light and color. Again, Sachs's fresh and jargon-free approach cuts through presuppositions and prejudices that are associated with the idea of "soul." Includes Aristotle's work On Memory and Recollection.Click on cover or title for more about this book, including price and ordering information. |
