Description

Archimedes is one of the greatest thinkers the world has ever known. He invented screws and levers and discovered the law of buoyancy. . . But what was his life actually like? Step into the world of Ancient Greece and learn about how Archimedes lived and what led him to make such remarkable discoveries.

The simple, often humorous, illustrations and diagrams greatly enhance the text. Illustrated by the author. Jeanne Bendick, through text and pictures, admirably succeeds in bringing to life the ancient Greek mathematician who enriched mathematics and all branches of science. Against the backdrop of Archimedes’ life and culture, the author discusses the man’s work, his discoveries and the knowledge later based upon it.

For upper Primary and above. (The book is also known as “Archimedes and the Door of Science”.)
