Heath's well-known English versions of Archimedes's works have been reprinted in this book. Hence his valuable explanations are again available. Yet, the experts know that these versions are far from being reliable from a philological point of view. To give just one example: The famous treatise ``Ephodos is translated with ``Method while one should translate this word with ``Approach (the Greek word for ``method in the text is always ``tropos). No wonder that a new English translation is being prepared since some years by Reviel Netz.
