The Forgotten Revolution: The Forgotten Revolution

Summary: A revolution in the history of science
Review: The most interesting nonfiction book I have read in the last 5 years (i have read the italian version).
I expect that the appearance of the english version will start a serious discussion about the theses exposed in this book.
The fact that the author has a classical formation in addition to his scientifical training permits the interpretation of obscure ancient sources to support, imho convincingly, that the alexandrine civilization had reached unsuspected advances in all sciences.
(I am not a professional historian, nor am I a scientist; I am interested in science and history, that's why i found this book so interesting)
