Among the key categories that shape Jewish thought are holiness, divinity, humanity, prayer, responsibility, exile, dwelling, gratitude, and language itself. While the Hebrew language is central to the investigation, the reader need not have a knowledge of Hebrew in order to follow it.

However, the importance of some discoveries is not always immediately understood. This was the case in 1901 when sponge divers retrieved a lump of corroded bronze from a shipwreck at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea near the Greek island of Antikythera. Little did the divers know they had found the oldest known analog computer in the world, an astonishing device that once simulated the motions of the stars and planets as they were understood by ancient Greek astronomers. Its remains now consist of 82 fragments, many of them containing gears and plates engraved with Greek words, that scientists and scholars have pieced back together through painstaking inspection and deduction, aided by radiographic tools and surface imaging. More than a century after its discovery, many of the secrets locked in this mysterious device can now be revealed. In addition to chronicling the unlikely discovery of the Antikythera Mechanism, author Alexander Jones takes readers through a discussion of how the device worked, how and for what purpose it was created, and why it was on a ship that wrecked off the Greek coast around 60 BC. What the Mechanism has uncovered about Greco-Roman astronomy and scientific technology, and their place in Greek society, is truly amazing. The mechanical know-how that it embodied was more advanced than anything the Greeks were previously thought capable of, but the most recent research has revealed that its displays were designed so that an educated layman could understand the behavior of astronomical phenomena, and how intertwined they were with one's natural and social environment. It was at once a masterpiece of machinery as well as one of the first portable teaching devices. Written by a world-renowned expert on the Mechanism, A Portable Cosmos will fascinate all readers interested in ancient history, archaeology, and the history of science"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAntikythera mechanism (Ancient calculator) 606 $aAstronomy, Ancient$zGreece 606 $aCalendar, Greek 606 $aTechnology$zGreece$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aScience$zGreece$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aGreece$xIntellectual life$yTo 146 B.C 607 $aGreece$xAntiquities 607 $aAntikythe?ra Island (Greece)$xAntiquities 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAntikythera mechanism (Ancient calculator) 615 0$aAstronomy, Ancient 615 0$aCalendar, Greek. 615 0$aTechnology$xHistory 615 0$aScience$xHistory 676 $a681.1/11 686 $aHIS002010$2bisacsh 700 $aJones$b Alexander$0283990 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156233903321 996 $aA portable cosmos$92754537 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01559nas 2200469- 450 001 996450450503316 005 20200120053045.1 011 $a1097-0967 035 $a(OCoLC)636725099 035 $a(CKB)2550000001348006 035 $a(CONSER)--2014201924 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001348006 100 $a20100603a19969999 -b- a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aBerkeley scientific 210 1$aBerkeley, CA :$cUniversity of California, Berkeley,$d1996- 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 300 $a"The undergraduate research journal of the University of California, Berkeley." 311 $a2373-8146 517 1 $aBerkeley scientific journal 531 0 $aBerkeley sci. j. 606 $aScience$vPeriodicals 606 $aCollege student newspapers and periodicals$zCalifornia$zBerkeley 606 $aCollege student newspapers and periodicals$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00867966 606 $aScience$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01108176 607 $aCalifornia$zBerkeley$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 615 0$aScience 615 0$aCollege student newspapers and periodicals 615 7$aCollege student newspapers and periodicals. 615 7$aScience. 676 $a509 712 02$aUniversity of California, Berkeley. 712 02$aSociety of Young Scientists (Berkeley, Calif.) 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a996450450503316 996 $aBerkeley scientific$92567631 997 $aUNISA
