Book Synopsis
Begins by taking up the ancient philosophical notion that the world is composed of two fundamental opposites: atoms, as the philosopher Epicurus theorized, intrinsically unchangeable and moving about the void; and, the void itself, or nothingness.

Trade Review
"An excellent and beautifully written book, The Lucretian Renaissance narrates fiendishly tricky, obscure, and complex matter normally accessible only to the erudite - philologists, Renaissance scholars, and historians of the book - with the lightness of touch of a storyteller." (James I. Porter, University of California, Irvine)"
