In this bold reimagining, modern polymath Nicholas Nicastro shines a new light on Archimedes' life and work. Far from the aloof, physically inept figure of historical myth, Archimedes is revealed to be an ambitious, combative, and fiercely competitive man. A genius who challenged an empire, Archimedes emerges in this book as the world's first fully modern scientist--millennia before his intellectual descendants transformed our world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicholas Nicastro\u003c\/b\u003e is a novelist and science writer with articles in the\u003ci\u003e New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew York Observer\u003c\/i\u003e, and others.
