"This is a very interesting volume for all scholars of mechanics interested in the roots of the basic question of their discipline . . the book is surely a very powerful tool for anyone interested in the basics of mechanics when seeking answers to questions on the subject." (Giuseppe Claudio Rata, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2017)
"This work, part of the 'History of Mechanism and Machine Science' series, looks at the development of the physics of motion through six periods: classical-Hellenistic, Middle Ages, early Renaissance, the age of Galileo and Descartes, Newton's (golden) age, and the 18th century. . a very interesting and illuminating read. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students and researchers/faculty." (E. Kincanon, Choice, Vol. 52 (6), February, 2015)More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
