The result was The Heavens (Caelestia), the only work by a professional Stoic teacher to survive intact from the first two centuries A.D., and a rare example of the interaction between science and philosophy in late antiquity. This volume contains a clear and idiomatic English translation-the first ever-of The Heavens, along with an informative introduction, detailed notes, and technical diagrams. This important work will now be accessible to specialists in both ancient philosophy and science and to readers interested in the history of astronomy and cosmology but with no knowledge of ancient Greek. 410 0$aHellenistic culture and society ;$v42. 517 3 $aLectures on astronomy 606 $aAstronomy, Greek 606 $aAstronomy$vEarly works to 1800 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAstronomy, Greek. 615 0$aAstronomy 676 $a520/.938 700 $aCleomedes$0171904 701 $aBowen$b Alan C$0525441 701 $aTodd$b Robert B$0162248 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456438403321 996 $aCleomedes' lectures on astronomy$92478123 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02131oam 2200709zu 450 001 9910164321903321 005 20230223173806.0 010 $a9780803152342 010 $a0803152345 035 $a(CKB)3170000000044120 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001185750 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11645056 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001185750 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11210658 035 $a(PQKB)11523658 035 $a(EXLCZ)993170000000044120 100 $a20160829d1993 uy 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aEnvironmental toxicology and risk assessment 210 31$a[Place of publication not identified]$cASTM$d1993 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a9780803118607 311 08$a0803118600 606 $aHealth Occupations 606 $aPublic Health Practice 606 $aToxic Actions 606 $aEnvironmental Exposure 606 $aPublic Health 606 $aChemical Actions and Uses 606 $aEnvironmental Pollution 606 $aOccupations 606 $aEnvironment and Public Health 606 $aChemical Actions and Uses 606 $aDelivery of Health Care 606 $aEnvironmental Monitoring 606 $aEnvironmental Pollutants 606 $aEnvironmental Health 615 2$aHealth Occupations. 615 2$aPublic Health Practice. 615 2$aToxic Actions. 615 2$aEnvironmental Exposure. 615 2$aPublic Health. 615 2$aChemical Actions and Uses. 615 2$aEnvironmental Pollution. 615 2$aOccupations. 615 2$aEnvironment and Public Health. 615 2$aChemical Actions and Uses. 615 2$aDelivery of Health Care. 615 2$aEnvironmental Monitoring. 615 2$aEnvironmental Pollutants. 615 2$aEnvironmental Health. 702 $aLandis$b Wayne G. 702 $aLewis$b Michael A. 702 $aHughes$b Jane S.$f1955- 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910164321903321 996 $aEnvironmental toxicology and risk assessment$91932699 997 $aUNINA
