Dover has reprinted these and other books by Heath, preserving over several decades a unique legacy in the history of mathematical scholarship. From that foundation, he went to work in the English Treasury, rose through the ranks, and by 1913, was permanent secretary to the Treasury, effectively the head of its operations. Heath.

In the Author's Own Words:"The works of Archimedes are without exception, monuments of mathematical exposition; the gradual revelation of the plan of attack, the masterly ordering of the propositions, the stern elimination of everything not immediately relevant to the purpose, the finish of the whole, are so impressive in their perfection as to create a feeling akin to awe in the mind of the reader." — Thomas L. The son of an English farmer from Lincolnshir

Historians of Greek culture and science can renew acquaintance with a standard reference; readers in general will find, particularly in the energetic discourses on Euclid and Archimedes, exactly what Heath means by impressive and awe-inspiring.  Unabridged (1981) republication of the original 1921 edition published by Oxford University Press. The linkage and unity of mathematics and philosophy suggest the outline for the entire history. . Stahl"Indeed, seeing that so much of Greek is mathematics, it is arguable that, if one would understand the Greek genius fully, it would be a good plan to begin with their geometry." The perspective that enabled Sir Thomas Heath to understand the Greek genius—deep intimacy with languages, literatures

Too many people think Atkins is "all the meat, eggs, butter & cheese you can eat" -- NOT TRUE and this book clearly shows that! The book basically has three parts:1) A Lifetime Plan - explains the concepts, inspiring success stories with before/after photos, and lots of quizzes and information like recommendations for what to eat regularly, moderately and sparingly, suggestions for making exercise a regular part of your life, and facing challenges.2) Eating for Life - information on getting your kitchen in order and meal plans for different Net Carb levels (45, 60, 80, 100), carb counting charts, and 125 recipes.I will say that the book has some ingredients listed that are no longer available--but with a search of some low carb websites I easily found healthier substitutes for those items. The eruption process and resulting destruction are chronicled not only in words, but also with many many color photographs.The suggested age level of 9-12 years (or 3rd to 6th grade) is right on target. All fruit recipes sounded terrific! Scalloped apples are on my to-do list. Lauren Blakely delivers another amazingly sexy romantic comedy with Well Hung.I think one of my favorite things about Lauren Blakey’s romantic comedies is the way I just feel like I am sitting on the couch with my absolutely stunning, too-hot-to-handle, witty, interesting, best friend… a

Heath read the original texts with a critical, scrupulous eye, and brought to this definitive two-volume history the insights of a mathematician communicated with the clarity of classically taught English. Interspersed are sections devoted to the history and analysis of famous problems: squaring the circle, angle trisection, duplication of the cube, and an appendix on Archimedes' proof of the subtangent property of a spiral. The coverage is everywhere thorough and judicious; but Heath is not content with plain exposition:
It is a defect in the existing histories that, while they state generally the contents of, and the main propositions proved in, the great treatises of Archimedes and Apollonius, they make little attempt to describe the procedure by which the results are obtained.
"Sir Thomas Heath, foremost English historian of the ancient exact sciences in the twentieth century." — Professor W. "As it is, the book is indispensable; it has, indeed, no serious English rival." — Times Literary Supplement. Stahl
