Book Description

July 15, 2008 0199540284 978-0199540280
For many centuries, Aristotle's Physics was the essential starting point for anyone who wished to study the natural sciences. Now, in the first translation into English since 1930, Aristotle's thought is presented accurately, with a lucid introduction and extensive notes to explain the general structure of eac section of the book, and shed light on particular problems. It simplifies and expands the style of the original, making for easier reading and better comprehension.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`the editions deserve great credit for the enthusiasm of their approach ... The introductions by eminent scholars put the thoughts of the author and the history of the time into clear perspective. Oxford should be given credit for making the classics accessible for all rather than just crib notes for students.' Jonathan Copeland, Lincolnshire Echo

This review is from: Physics (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)
Since this is the edition that is in print, but there is no reason to believe that it is substantively different from the 1999 edition, I note here that you can read my review of the 1999 edition if you are considering buying this one.
