Requests:  0 Summary:  In The Lagoon, acclaimed biologist Armand Marie Leroi recovers Aristotle's science. He revisits Aristotle's writings and the places where he worked. He goes to the eastern Aegean island of Lesbos to see the creatures that Aristotle saw, where he saw them. He explores Aristotle's observations, his deep ideas, his inspired guesses--and the things he got wildly wrong. He shows how Aristotle's science is deeply intertwined with his philosophical system and reveals that he was not only the first biologist, but also one of the greatest.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 570.1 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 570.1 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 570.1 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList
