…different social classes in 14th century England eg towns & cities, food, clothes, housing, employment, travel etc. I got about halfway through and lost interest in the subject matter. Lucio Russo - The forgotten Revolution. A very readable academic history of the development of science in ptolomaic egypt (eg euclid, archimedes, etc). This was certainly the most surprising book I read all year. This time period has been…

我真的很喜欢这篇帖子，尽管我不太清楚哪部分是虚构的，哪部分是真实的。你可能会对 Lucio Russo 的《The Forgotten Revolution》感兴趣。他描述了希腊化时期的科学和技术文化，正是这种文化孕育了希罗的汽转球、希腊火、安提基特拉机械、阿基米德的穷竭法、埃拉托斯特尼对……的测量
I really enjoyed the post, even though I wasn't clear what part was fictional and what part was truthful. You might be interested in Lucio Russo's book The Forgotten Revolution. He describes how the Hellenistic scientific and technical culture which gave us Heron's aeolipile, Greek fire, the Antikythera mechanism, Archimedes' method of exhaustion, Eratosthenes' measurement…
…why the oft quoted trivia that Cleopatra is closer to us than to Imhotep is so striking. Having said that, there's an excellent scholarly work of revisionist history written by Lucio Russo called the Forgotten Revolution that I can recommend for some pleasuraeble outrage.
……比柏拉图早，当然，但欧几里得晚了四分之一个世纪，阿基米德直到一个世纪后才去世，而托勒密和盖伦则是将近 500 年后的人了。我推荐读读 Lucio Russo 的《The Forgotten Revolution》，这本书极具说服力地论证了在基督教产生之前的希腊化欧洲存在着持续的科学探索，当然，今天全世界也都在进行着持续的科学探索……
…of platon, sure, but eucleides was a quarter century later, archimedes didn't die until a century later, and ptolemaios and galenos were almost 500 years later. i recommend reading lucio russo's the forgotten revolution, which makes an excellent case that there was a sustained scientific enterprise in pre-christian hellenistic europe and, of course, today there is a sustained scientific enterprise throughout the world,…
It is as if in some post-apocalyptic future, scholars would learn about the work of Newton and Einstein from surviving articles in Scientific American or New Scientist. Yes. Lucio Russo in The Forgotten Revolution made the same point and tried to figure out what got lost in that game of telephone. (A lot!) Here's a book not exactly for the general reader but that I think is underappreciated: James Clerk Maxwell's…
……14 世纪英格兰的不同社会阶层，比如城镇与城市、食物、衣服、住房、就业、旅行等。读到差不多一半我就对这个主题失去兴趣了。Lucio Russo 的《The Forgotten Revolution》（被遗忘的革命）。一本可读性极强的学术史书，讲述了托勒密埃及的科学发展（例如欧几里得、阿基米德等）。这绝对是我一整年读过最令人意外的书。这个历史时期一直……

……在罗马时期没有任何具有可比性机械复杂度的东西，无论是在考古发现中还是在希罗（Heron）的著作里。关于这类东西非常通俗好读且与时俱进的学术研究，参见 Russo 的书[1]。[1] https://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Revolution-Science-Born-Reb...

……为什么人们常说的“克利奥帕特拉（埃及艳后）生活的时代离我们比离印何阗更近”这个冷知识会如此震撼。话虽如此，Lucio Russo 写过一本出色的翻案史学术著作，叫《The Forgotten Revolution》，我很推荐一读，能带来某种让人直呼过瘾的颠覆感。

这就好比在某个末日后的未来，学者们只能从幸存的《Scientific American》或《New Scientist》文章中去了解牛顿和爱因斯坦的工作。没错。Lucio Russo 在《The Forgotten Revolution》中也表达了同样的观点，并试图搞清楚在这场“传话游戏”中到底丢失了什么。（丢了太多了！）这里有一本虽然不完全适合普通读者，但我认为被低估了的书：James Clerk Maxwell 的……
