Decoding The Heavens | Jo Marchant | Home In her book Decoding the Heavens, Jo Marchant tells the story of an ancient Greek artefact called the Antikythera mechanism. It was discovered in a wreck by sponge divers in 1901, and is the most stunning scientific artefact we have from antiquity – a clockwork computer consisting of more than 30 gearwheels and pointers. Now, more than 2000 years after the device was lost at sea, scientists have pieced together its intricate workings and revealed its secrets. In the book, scholars’ 100-year quest to decode the Antikythera mechanism is woven together with tales from ancient technology and astronomy, and characters such as Arthur C. Clarke, Jacques Cousteau, Hipparchus, Archimedes and the Roman writer Cicero. Jo Marchant is a science journalist at New Scientist magazine. This website contains book synopsis, reviews, articles, links and author information. Decodingtheheavens.com~Site InfoWhoisTrace RouteRBL Check
