It uses the concept of ?anchoring? to investigate the microhistories of technological and scientific practices and ideas. The volume combines broad, theoretical essays with more targeted case studies of individual inventions and innovations. In doing so, it moves beyond the emphasis on achievement that has traditionally characterized modern scholarship on ancient technology and science. Instead, the chapters of this volume analyse the manifold ways in which new technologies and ideas were anchored in what was already known and familiar, and highlight how, once familiar, technologies and ideas could themselves become anchoring points for inventions and innovations. 410 0$aClassical Studies E-Books Online, Collection 2024. 410 0$aEuhormos: Greco-Roman Studies in Anchoring Innovation ;$v7. 606 $aAncient Science & Medicine 606 $aClassical Studies 606 $aGreek & Latin Literature 615 0$aAncient Science & Medicine. 615 0$aClassical Studies. 615 0$aGreek & Latin Literature. 676 $a025.4/3 702 $aFlohr$b Miko 702 $aMols$b Stephan 702 $aTieleman$b Teun 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910996693403321 996 $aAnchoring Science and Technology in Greco-Roman Antiquity$94372705 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00803nam0 2200289 450 001 9911041829203321 005 20251120102943.0 010 $a9788829032983 100 $a20251120d2025----km y0itay50 ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $ay 001yy 200 1 $aEguaglianza$euna sfida per le societą plurali$fa cura di Silvia Illari$gcon contributi di Quirino Camerlengo ...
