Expanding Horizons in the History of Science. The Comparative Approach, Hardback

This book challenges a Western modernist perspective for the history of science. The study of ancient societies and modern indigenous groups enables us to critique many of our own assumptions. The realities to be accounted for are multidimensional and all such accounts are to some extent value-laden.
