The light ages : the surprising story of medieval science / Seb Falk. by Falk, Seb, author. New York, NY : W.W. Norton & Company, 2020. Subjects Science, Medieval -- History. ISBN:  9781324002932 (hardcover) : 132400293X (hardcover) Description:  xv, 391 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some color) : 24 cm Edition:  First American edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  "An illuminating guide to the scientific and technological achievements of the Middle Ages through the life of a crusading astronomer-monk. Soaring Gothic cathedrals, violent crusades, the Black Death: these are the dramatic forces that shaped the medieval era. But the so-called Dark Ages also gave us the first universities, eyeglasses, and mechanical clocks, proving that the Middle Ages were home to a vibrant scientific culture. In The Light Ages, Cambridge science historian Seb Falk takes us on an immersive tour of medieval science through the story of one fourteenth-century monk, John of Westwyk. From multiplying Roman numerals to navigating by the stars, curing disease, and telling time with an ancient astrolabe, we learn emerging science alongside Westwyk, while following the gripping story of the struggles and successes of an ordinary man in a precarious world. An enlightening history that argues that these times weren't so dark after all, The Light Ages shows how medieval ideas continue to color how we see the world today"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 509.40902 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 509.40902 Falk Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 509.40902 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 509.40902 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 509.40902 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 509.40902 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 509.40902 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 509.40902 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 509.40902 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
