Archimedes and the Door of Science

Many of the things we know about science began with Archimedes. His curious, logical, exploring mind founded several branches of science and discovered many scientific laws and principles. He created the Archimedes screw, a machine that showed eclipses of the sun and moon, and war machines to defend Syracuse from the Romans. Jeanne Bendick introduces Archimedes through humorous, easy-to-understand explanations of his inventions and contributions, showing how the door to modern science opened through the mind of Archimedes.
