Описание книги

A History of Science is a five volume work written by two brothers dr. Henry Smith Williams and dr. Edward Huntington Williams with a goal to present fundamental principles of science, to point out how they have been discovered by our predecessors, and to trace the growth of these ideas from their first vague beginnings. The work is chronologically divided in five parts, each of them covering the epoch in which different branches of science have been lifted to the next level. Table of Contents: Volume I: Idea of the Science in Ancient History and Prehistoric Times (Egypt, Babylonia, Assyria, Ancient Greece and Rome); Volume II: The Beginnings of Modern Science (Science in Middle Ages, Eastern, Western, Galileo, Newton); Volume III: Modern Development of the Physical Sciences; Volume IV: Modern Development of the Chemical and Biological Sciences; Volume V: Aspects of Recent Science.

Complete Edition

.....

As to omens having to do with the affairs of everyday life the number is legion. For example, Moppert has published, in the Journal Asiatique,(19) the translation of a tablet which contains on its two sides several scores of birth-portents, a few of which maybe quoted at random:

"When a woman bears a child and it has the ears of a lion, a strong king is in the country." "When a woman bears a child and it has a bird's beak, that country is oppressed." "When a woman bears a child and its right hand is wanting, that country goes to destruction." "When a woman bears a child and its feet are wanting, the roads of the country are cut; that house is destroyed." "When a woman bears a child and at the time of its birth its beard is grown, floods are in the country." "When a woman bears a child and at the time of its birth its mouth is open and speaks, there is pestilence in the country, the Air-god inundates the crops of the country, injury in the country is caused."
