However, there is no single author by that name, but rather several prominent figures who may be confused with one another:
1. John Mendes de Solla Price, the most likely candidate, was a British-American historian of science, best known for his work on:
* "Gears from the Greeks: The Antikythera Mechanism, a Calendar Computer from Ancient Greece" (1974) - His seminal work on the Antikythera Mechanism, a complex astronomical device from ancient Greece.
* "Science Since Babylon" (1961) - A broad history of science from antiquity to the modern era.
* "Clocks and the Cosmos: Time in the Medieval World" (1975) - His exploration of the relationship between timekeeping and scientific understanding in the medieval period.
2. Judith Mendes de Solla Price, John's wife and a historian of science in her own right, is also notable for her work on:
* "The Fabric of the Cosmos" (1988) - A book exploring the history of the concept of the universe.
* "The Scientific Imagination" (2004) - A study of the ways in which scientists have imagined the world.
3. William Mendes de Solla Price, John's brother, was a professor of physics and wrote several books on physics and related subjects, including "Nuclear Physics for Engineers."
Therefore, it's essential to clarify which "J. Mendes de Solla" you are referring to. Once you specify which individual you're interested in, I can provide a more detailed list of their publications.
