I do, however, have to take issue with the characterization of the middle east. Some sources claim that the Greeks' "discovery" of mathematics and science depended on borrowed material from the middle east; and others maintain equally that if the middle east did not develop at the same pace as Europe, it has to do with the continual cultural, intellectual and material plundering that took place there by European and other interlopers. The Greek-centric conception of intellectual development is an aspect of Western academia that I'm constantly trying to modify. Thanks for your great illustrations. I'd love to see a mini-mag of this production. Czam I love this synopsis, though I’ve only read 1/2 through yet. I do, however, have to take issue with the characterization of the middle east.
