5.0 out of 5 stars Translation of scientific ideas, not words, October 10, 2007
By 
This review is from: Science in Translation: Movements of Knowledge through Cultures and Time (Paperback)
This is not a history of translation of scientific writing from one language to another. The author rather points out that when new scientific concepts moved from one culture to another (e.g., Greek to Roman) it was a migration of concepts, and the concepts did not always fit into their new home. Montgomery makes his point very clearly through his examples. When Greek astronomy moved to imperial Rome, the science was understood for its pragmatic value.
