418294Princeton University Press. Hardcover. Fair. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Isaac Newton's Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended published in 1728 one year after the great man's death unleashed a storm of controversy. And for good reason. The book presents a drastically revised timeline for ancient civilizations contracting Greek history by five hundred years and Egypt's by a millennium. Newton and the Origin of Civilization tells the story of how one of the most celebrated figures in the history of mathematics optics and mechanics came to apply his unique ways of thinking to problems of history theology and mythology and of how his radical ideas produced an uproar that reverberated in Europe's learned circles throughout the eighteenth century and beyond. Jed Buchwald and Mordechai Feingold reveal the manner in which Newton strove for nearly half a century to rectify universal history by reading ancient texts through the lens of astronomy and to create a tight theoretical system for interpreting the evolution of civilization on the basis of population dynamics. It was during Newton's earliest years at Cambridge that he developed the core of his singular method for generating and working with trustworthy knowledge which he applied to his study of the past with the same rigor he brought to his work in physics and mathematics. Drawing extensively on Newton's unpublished papers and a host of other primary sources Buchwald and Feingold reconcile Isaac Newton the rational scientist with Newton the natural philosopher alchemist theologian and chronologist of ancient history.

A9780691200903Hardback. New. <p><b>A major new history of the race between two geniuses to decipher ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century Europe</b><br /><br />In 1799 a French Army officer was rebuilding the defenses of a fort on the banks of the Nile when he discovered an ancient stele fragment bearing a decree inscribed in three different scripts. So begins one of the most familiar tales in Egyptology—that of the Rosetta Stone and the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs. This book draws on fresh archival evidence to provide a major new account of how the English polymath Thomas Young and the French philologist Jean-François Champollion vied to be the first to solve the riddle of the Rosetta.<br /><br />Jed Buchwald and Diane Greco Josefowicz bring to life a bygone age of intellectual adventure. Much more than a decoding exercise centered on a single artifact the race to decipher the Rosetta Stone reflected broader disputes about language historical evidence biblical truth and the value of classical learning. Buchwald and Josefowicz paint compelling portraits of Young and Champollion two gifted intellects with altogether different motivations. Young disdained Egyptian culture and saw Egyptian writing as a means to greater knowledge about Greco-Roman antiquity. Champollion swept up in the political chaos of Restoration France and fiercely opposed to the scholars aligned with throne and altar admired ancient Egypt and was prepared to upend conventional wisdom to solve the mystery of the hieroglyphs.<br /><br />Taking readers from the hushed lecture rooms of the Institut de France to the windswept monuments of the Valley of the Kings <i>The Riddle of the Rosetta</i> reveals the untold story behind one of the nineteenth century's most thrilling discoveries.</p> hardcover
