Synopsis
This is the fascinating story of how drawings and writings by Archimedes, previously thought to have been destroyed, have been uncovered beneath the pages of a 13th century monk s prayer book. The story of the book s survival is utterly enthralling, and the hidden texts within it show that Archimedes thinking (2,200 years ago) was even ahead of Isaac Newton in the 17th century. Combining intrigue, lost books, academic detection and final revelations which rewrite the history of science and mathematics, THE HIDDEN ARCHIMEDES will be a major publishing event.
