Montgomery explores the diverse roles that translation has played in the development of science from antiquity to the present-from the Arabic translations of Greek and Latin texts whose reintroduction to Europe was crucial to the Renaissance, to the origin and evolution of modern science in Japan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"[A] book of great richness, as much for its examples as for its ideas, which keenly illustrate the development of knowledge across languages and epochs. It is a book to read and reread.
