In sum, if the book has limitations, it tends to transcend them. Boylan does not give us an entirely new history of Greek science, but rather one expressed in a new language, reliant on strong tripartite divisions. The book is intended to be accessible to historians of medicine and philosophers of science, and a glossary of philosophical terms provides a handy reference for terms and symbols. Most readers will find something worthwhile-be it technical analyses of scientific viewpoints or detailed philosophical frameworks-in its pages - Daniel Bertoni, University of Miami, BMCR
