Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 6, 2014 Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2014 9:57 pm Subject: Newton Reading - How did Light change science? |

Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 6, 2014 Posted: Tue Apr 01, 2014 10:00 pm Subject: Herodotus and Thucydides |
| I agree with Tino that "the father of history" is a vague term. However, if I had to pick one on the spot, I'd say that Thucydides was the father of history--and Herodotus was the grandfathe ... | |
