*by T***M on Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2017*

Amazingly detailed history from discovery to contemplation and impact of the device.  Great technical articles and easy to understand information about the ratio's of the gears as well as the theories that lead to all the information being ironed out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Scientific inquiry at it's best
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2013*

This is science at it's best. Unbiased. This is hard to do if any type of agenda is involved. De Solla-Price being from Yale is top notch. Its amazing what he ferreted out using only basic x-rays (no CT or PTM). A "must read" for those into this subject. Well presented.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Classic, but somewhat dated
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2009*

This is scientific writing at its best: methodical, readable, captivating. Price worked for more than 10 years on untangling the remarkable mystery of the Antikythera mechanism.  Through painstaking research and clever interpretation of the findings he was the first to create a plausible model for the device's operation.  Modern research (see the Nature 2006 and 2008 articles by members of the Antikythera Research Project) has revised many of his findings.  In particular, the differential gear arrangement that Price proposed has been changed into a setup that models the Lunar orbit according to Hipparchos.  Nevertheless, this booklet should be the starting point for anyone interested in the truly amazing Antikythera mechanism.
