New Worlds, Ancient Texts The Power of Tradton and the Shock of Discovery Anthony Grafton Descnbing an era of exploration dunng the Renaissance that went far beyond geographic bounds, this book shows how the evidence ofthe New World shook the foundations of the old, upsetting the authon'ty of the ancient texts that had guided Europeans so far afield. What he recounts is in effect a war of ideas fought, sometimes unwittingly, by manners, scientists, publishers, and rulers over I 50 years. He shows . us explorers from Cortez and Columbus to Scaliger and Munster, laiden with ideas gathered from ancient and medieval texts, in their encounters with the world at large. In colorful vignettes, firsthand accounts, published debates, and copious illustrations, we see these men and theircontemporanestryingto make sense oftheirdiscovenes as they sometimes confirm, sometimes contest, and finally displace traditional images and notions of the world beyond Europe. 75 halftones Belknop $29.95 cloth

Journal of the History of Biology

Editors:

Everett Mendelsohn, Harvard University, Cambridge, USA, Shirley A. Roe, University of Connecticut, USA

The Journal of the History of Biology is devoted to the history of the biological sciences, with additional interest and concern in philos- Journal ophical and social issues confronting biology. Highlight While all historical epochs are welcome, par- ticular attention has been paid in recent years to developments during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The journal serves both the working biologist who needs a full understanding to the historical and philosophical bases of the field and the historian of biology interested in following developments in the biological sciences.

Journal of the History of Biology is surveyed by America: History and Life, Biological Ab- stracts, Current Contents/Agriculture, Biology & Environmental Sciences, Science Citation Index, ASCA, Historical Abstracts, Referativnyi Zhurnal, European Centre of the History of Medicine, Biological & Agricultural Index, Cur- rent Awareness in Biological Sciences.
