Here is a link to the Amazon page with table of contents and preview. I haven't had a chance to purchase much less start to read, but I hope if people here are interested and go through it they will comment in the thread below. Also below is the Table of Contents:

    Thank you Cassius.

    I am reading it and it is very insightful.

    It is not the style of Emliy A Austin´s book, and the quality is similarly high

    At least in my opinion :) with good valid references.

    The book emphasizes the influence and pro-scientific nature of Epicurean philosophy and how it is at the core of a naturalistic worldview

    and how these discoveries advance medicine, chemistry, technology and human prosperity

    Our friend Leonidas from the Garden of Athens has taken the time to translate the Timeline of Epicurean Philosophy hosted at Twentiers into Greek! You can find his translation ΟΙ ΕΠΙΚΟΥΡΕΙΟΙ ΣΤΗΝ ΑΡΧΑΙΟΤΗΤΑ ("THE EPICUREANS IN ANTIQUITY") here.

    I'm hoping to keep an open dialogue about future opportunities to collaborate.
