Science: A Four Thousand Year History
Patricia Fara
Fara begins in Mesopotamia and refuses to treat European science as the destination.
Why you should read this
Fara covers four thousand years of scientific practice while deliberately working against the heroic lone-genius narrative, situating discoveries inside the politics, trade and patronage that funded and shaped them. Best for readers who want science presented as an embedded social activity rather than a sequence of isolated breakthroughs.
