Byatt, Herodotus to Laurel Thatcher Ulrich - preview recommended reading and encourage readers to make vital connections between ancient traditions and contemporary writing. This fourth edition has been expanded and updated to include works from the 21st century, additional guides and helps, and a new chapter on reading the most essential science texts, such as those written by Aristotle, Galileo, and Hawking. 511 indexed pages, hardcover with dust jacket.
