Anaximander by Carlo Rovelli
A concise, reflective portrait of the pre-Socratic thinker who first looked for nonmythical explanations of the world, proposing an indefinite origin (the apeiron), a levitating Earth, and cosmological models based on observation and reason; the book situates his bold hypotheses, mapmaking and measurements within the birth of scientific thinking, emphasizing how tentative models, critical inquiry and intellectual humility transformed mythic imagination into a practice of explanation that still shapes science today.
