* 本書は、古代の自然科学について、その誕生から古代末期の終焉に至るまでを扱った、初の英語による包括的なレファレンスです。同分野における100人を超える世界の専門家の論文が掲載されており、既存のレファレンスでは言及されていない項目も収録されています。
* さらに、用語辞典、地名索引、年表も収録し、用語辞典では、翻訳の難しいギリシャ語（またはラテン語）の専門用語が解説されており、また、地名索引では科学者の出身地が説明されています。年表では、紀元前5世紀に始まる自然科学の急速な進歩から、ハドリアヌス帝以降、ローマへの権力の集中によって科学が繁栄する背景が失われたために、自然科学が急速に衰退していくまでが示されています。
* 本書はユニークで意欲的な資料集として、古代自然科学の歴史に関心をもつあらゆる人にとって欠かすことのできないレファレンスとなるでしょう。 *

* Technical standards have received increasing attention in recent years from historians of science and technology, management theorists and economists. Often, inquiry focuses on the emergence of stability, technical closure and culturally uniform modernity. Yet current literature also emphasizes the durability of localism, heterogeneity and user choice. This collection investigates the apparent tension between these trends using case studies from across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. *

* This book marks the centenary of the discovery of the electron by J.J. Thomson in 1897, one of the great turning points in the history of scientific ideas.
* In this book the discussion moves from the historical context of the discovery of the electron and its basic properties, to the Dirac equation, bonding in condensed matter, Fermi and non-Fermi liquids, quantum order, superconductivity, heavy, coherent and composite electrons, and the role of the electron in the cosmos, with each chapter being written by a leading figure in the field. *
