Aristotle: Dean of Early Science

Truly one of the world's greatest thinkers, Aristotle dominated scientific thought for centuries after his death. Almost every known branch of science came under his scrutiny, including logic, metaphysics, biology, anatomy, astronomy, geometry, zoology, and geology. Though many of his theories are now known to be inaccurate, his legacy of pure thought and logic marks an unforgettable scientific milestone. In "Aristotle: Dean of Early Science," Glanville Downey presents the life and work of the man whose tireless curiosity and systematic observations helped lay the foundations of Western science.
