{"product_id":"9785961473704","title":"Non-Western History of Science: Discoveries We Didn't Know About","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames Poskett reimagines the history of knowledge, challenging the idea that modern science is an exclusively Western invention. He convincingly demonstrates how progress results from the collaboration and sharing of knowledge among brilliant minds from around the world. From the important contributions of Arab scientists to European science to the riches of ancient Chinese medicine, botany, and pharmacology, this book explores the diversity of scientific achievements beyond our familiar geographic and cultural boundaries. Readers will learn about an Ottoman astronomer captured by pirates; an African slave who searched for medicinal herbs on a South American plantation; and a Mexican geneticist who collected blood samples from Olympic athletes. While acknowledging the importance of the traditional scientific canon, the author pays attention to the political context that shaped scientific discourse and offers a comprehensive view of the history of science.To understand the history of astronomy and mathematics during the Scientific Revolution, we need to begin not with the traditional story of Copernicus, a European thinker, but with the story of the scientists in the Islamic world whose ideas inspired Europeans.Color insertToday, the discovery of the structure of the atom is usually attributed to the British physicist Ernest Rutherford. This is one of the most telling examples of how non-European scientists have been erased from the history of modern science. Rutherford’s groundbreaking article describing the structure of the atom was published in 1911, a few years after Nagaoka had written a series of articles on the same topic.For those interested in the history of science.In a Crimean prison, Frenkel developed the first quantum-mechanical explanation of the flow of electricity. The irony was that he had to rethink the concept of the electron's \"freedom\" at the very time when he himself was in prison.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Поскетт Джеймс","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50567026835736,"sku":null,"price":500000.0,"currency_code":"IDR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/3966\/2104\/files\/52997db9432b6364c24e2b4f843147f4.jpg?v=1765889993","url":"https:\/\/chitaybaliest2025.com\/en\/products\/9785961473704","provider":"ЧИТАЙ БАЛИ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
