Reviews

World of Patterns is an impressive work, not only thanks to its truly global grasp but also because it spans huge periods of time, from the Paleolithic to the beginning of the nineteenth century, and furthermore because it covers a wide variety of knowledge fields, from the natural sciences to the human sciences—among them astronomy, mathematics, medicine, history, philology, linguistics, literary sciences, and jurisprudence. —Isis: A Journal of the History of Science Society
