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.\"[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. Its subject is important; it is ours, it is our history.\" -André Clas, Meta: Journal des Traducteurs\"[T]his book . . . seems to stand alone on the shelf. A good thing, therefore, that it is so full of good things, both in the content and the prose.\" -William R. Everdell, MAA Online\"[A]n impressive work. . . .
