James S. Romm is Assistant Professor of Classics at Bard College.
"An immensely engaging and erudite work, packed full of provocative
insights.... Romm successfully sorts out for us some of the most
complex traditions of ancient geographic literature; and he
deserves high marks for doing it in such an intelligent, original,
and attractive manner."---T. Corey Brennan, Bryn Mawr Classical
Review
"Romm's incisive and brilliant analysis of Greco-Roman ideas of
earth's geography is grounded in a linguistic interpretation of
Greek conceptions of space and boundary. . . . His work captures
the imagination as few others have and will provide material for
the study of the classical legacy in the shaping of the modern
scientific mind for many years to come."---Helen Liebel-Weckowicz,
Classical Bulletin
