Jones, Alexander (Professor of the History of the Exact Sciences in Antiquity, Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, Professor of the History of the Exact Sciences in Antiquity, Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, New York University)
The Antikythera Mechanism, now 82 small fragments of corroded bronze, was an ancient Greek machine simulating the cosmos as the Greeks understood it. Reflecting the most recent researches, A Portable Cosmos presents it as a gateway to Greek astronomy and technology and their place in Greco-Roman society and thought.
