THIS BOOK WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE AFTER SEPTEMBER 10, 2021. In the award-winning The First Scientist: Anaximander and His Legacy , translated here for the first time in English, Rovelli restores Anaximander to his place in the history of science by carefully reconstructing his theories from what is known to us and examining them in their historical and philosophical contexts. Rovelli demonstrates that Anaximander's discoveries and theories were decisive influences, putting Western culture on its path toward a scientific revolution.
