This work focuses on the life and contributions of Thomas Hariot, a notable mathematician and philosopher, as well as his role in the early exploration and documentation of Virginia, particularly during the period of English colonization initiated by Sir Walter Raleigh. At the start of the book, the author provides context for Hariot's significance, outlining his scientific achievements, such as anticipating the law of refraction and his involvement in astronomical observations. Stevens notes Hariot's close relationships with prominent figures like Raleigh and Kepler, as well as his unique position as a historian of the New World. The opening portion conveys that Hariot’s work serves as a crucial resource for understanding early American history and indigenous life, ultimately establishing him as a pivotal yet underappreciated figure in both English and American scholarly narratives.
