Light Ages - The Surprising Story of Medieval Science
Named a Best Book of 2020 by the Telegraph, the Times, and BBC History Magazine, The Light Ages is an illuminating guide to the scientific and technological achievements of the Middle Ages. Animated by "Falk's bubbling curiosity and strong sense of storytelling" (Alex Orlando, Discover), The Light Ages conjures a vivid picture of medieval life as we have never seen it Cambridge science historian Seb Falk follows the life of a crusading fourteenth-century astronomer-monk, John of Westwyk, to take us on a tour of medieval science--from multiplying Roman numerals to navigating by the stars, curing disease, and telling time with an ancient astrolabe.
