ANAXIMANDER - CARLO ROVELLI KARTONIERT (TB)

A TLS BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Anaximander is a delight and so is this book' -- James McConnachie 
Sunday Times Now widely available in English for the first time  this is Carlo Rovelli's first
book: the thrilling story of a little-known man who created one of the greatest intellectual
revolutions Over two thousand years ago  one man changed the way we see the world. Since the
dawn of civilization  humans had believed in the heavens above and the Earth below. Then  on
the Ionian coast  a Greek philosopher named Anaximander set in motion a revolution. He not only
conceived that the Earth floats in space  but also that animals evolve  that storms and
earthquakes are natural  not supernatural  that the world can be mapped and  above all  that
progress is made by the endless search for knowledge. Carlo Rovelli's first book  now widely
available in English  tells the origin story of scientific thinking: our rebellious ability to
reimagine the world  again and again. Translated by Marion Lignana Rosenberg
