Book Description
Excerpt from Gradations in Euclid: Books I. And II.; An Introduction to Plane Geometry, Its Use and Application; With an Explanatory Preface; Remarks on Geometrical Reasoning, and on Arithmetic and Algebra Applied to Geometry The explanatory notes direct the Learner's attention to several points of interest connected with the Definitions and Propositions and to many of the Propositions is appended an account of the chief practical Usas to which they may be applied. This is valuable for many reasons, but principally that the Learner may at once see, not simply the theoretical and abstract truths of Geometry, but their direct utility in various ways. There are very many persons who, from studying only the Common Editions of Euclid, which treat exclusively of the Theory of Geometry, never attain to a perception of its importance, and never realise the full advantages of geometrical studies. Indeed, they have read and demonstrated the whole work without perceiving any value in their laborious pursuit except as an exercise of the memory and mental powers in a very dry course of reasoning. It is the main object of our Gradations in Euclid to combine Theory and Practice, and, as soon as a geometrical truth has been established, to point out its use and application. The Author is thoroughly persuaded that this immediate Combination of Theory and its Application, not only awakens and maintains a livelier interest, but, in fact, leads to a more scholar-like understanding of both, than when they are studied separately, or at wide intervals of time. The Uses to which the Propositions may be applied are very numerous; and we have given only a portion of them - more in the way of example, and to point out in some instances the progress of geometrical discovery.

Book Description
Sebastian Münster's Cosmographia was an immensely influential book that attempted to describe the entire world across all of human history and analyse its constituent elements of geography, history, ethnography, zoology and botany. First published in 1544 it went through thirty-five editions and was published in five languages, making it one of the most important books of the Reformation period. Beginning with a biographical study of Sebastian Münster, his life and the range of his scholarly work, this book then moves on to discuss the genre of cosmography. The bulk of the book, however, deals with the Cosmographia itself, offering a close reading of the 1550 Latin edition (the last and definitive edition worked upon by Münster). By analysing the contents of the Cosmographia it attempts to recreate how the world of the sixteenth century appeared to a scholar living in Basel, and understand what he saw and heard. Through this examination of Münster, his publications and scholarly networks, the conflicts and continuities between medieval scholarly traditions and the widening horizons of the sixteenth century are explored and revealed. Of interest to scholars of humanist culture, the Reformation and book history, this ambitious work throws into relief previously overlooked aspects of the intellectual and religious culture of the time.

Book Description
This is the first booklength account of how Maurice Merleau-Ponty used certain texts by Alfred North Whitehead to develop an ontology based on nature, and how he could have used other Whitehead texts that he did not know in order to complete his last ontology. This account is enriched by several of Merleau-Ponty's unpublished writings not previously available in English, by the first detailed treatment of certain works by F.W.J. Schelling in the course of showing how they exerted a substantial influence on both Merleau-Ponty and Whitehead, and by the first extensive discussion of Merleau-Ponty's interest in the Stoics's notion of the twofold logos—the logos endiathetos and the logos proforikos. This book provides a thorough exploration of the consonance between these two philosophers in their mutual desire to overcome various bifurcations of nature, and of nature from spirit, that continued to haunt philosophy and science since the 17th-century.

Book Description
This text grew from the authors' conviction that both prospective school teachers and college teachers of maths need a background in history to be more effective as instructors in the classroom. Prospective instructors gain an appreciation of the contributions of all cultures, and this text explains how mathematics developed over the centuries. Also suitable for those studying maths and science at degree level.

Book Description
The aim of this book is to explain the shape of Greek mathematical thinking. It can be read on three levels: as a description of the practices of Greek mathematics; as a theory of the emergence of the deductive method; and as a case-study for a general view on the history of science. The starting point for the enquiry is geometry and the lettered diagram. Reviel Netz exploits the mathematicians' practices in the construction and lettering of their diagrams, and the continuing interaction between text and diagram in their proofs, to illuminate the underlying cognitive processes. A close examination of the mathematical use of language follows, especially mathematicians' use of repeated formulae. Two crucial chapters set out to show how mathematical proofs are structured and explain why Greek mathematical practice manages to be so satisfactory. A final chapter looks into the broader historical setting of Greek mathematical practice.
