Jeanne Bendick

Jeanne Bendick, through text and pictures, admirably succeeds in bringing to life the ancient Greek mathematician who enriched mathematics and all branches of science. Against the backdrop of Archimedes' life and culture, the author discusses the man's work, his discoveries and the knowledge later based upon it. The simple, often humorous, illustrations and diagrams greatly enhance the text.

Archimedes and the Door of Science

We know about Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. But we owe nearly as much to Galen, a physician born in 129 A.D. at the height of the Roman Empire. Galen's acute diagnoses of patients, botanical wisdom, and studies of physiology were recorded in numerous books, handed down through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Not least, Galen passed on the medical tradition of respect for life. In this fascinating biography for young people, Jeanne Bendick brings Galen's Roman world to life with the clarity, humor, and outstanding content we enjoyed in Archimedes and the Door to Science. An excellent addition to the home, school and to libraries. Illustrated by the Author.

Cu desenele autoarei / Introducere de Rea Berg / Traducere de Cristian Negoiță „Sunt Galileo Galilei din Pisa. Încă de mic, mintea mi-a fost cuprinsă de întrebări la care nu se mai gândise nimeni. Am studiat științele, am predat la universitate, am născocit o mulțime de obiecte folositoare. Am inventat telescopul, am perfecționat microscopul, termometrul, ceasurile, busolele și multe altele. Am demonstrat că Pământul se învârte în jurul Soare¬lui, atrăgându-mi astfel mânia multora din vremea mea. Dar nu m-am dat bătut. Întotdeauna am știut că numai cercetând și experimentând putem ajunge la adevăr.“

The Future Explorers' Club Meets Here

Best-selling author Jeanne Bendick takes us for another informative—and amusing—journey into places and events of long ago. Herodotus and the Road to History, written in the first person, details the investigative journeys of Herodotus—a contemporary of the Old Testament prophet Malachi—as he takes ship from Greece and voyages to the limits of his own ancient world. His persistence, amidst disbelief and ridicule, in the self-appointed task of recording his discoveries as “histories” (the Greek word meaning “inquiry”), means that today we can still follow his expeditions into the wonder and mystery of Syria, Persia, Egypt and the “barbaric” north. Jeanne Bendick's lucid text, humorous illustrations and helpful maps entertain and instruct as they open the way for readers young and old to once again join Herodotus . . . on the road to history.
