  I’m wondering if anyone can offer an analysis on the following books.
  
  The first is a new book titled “The Lagoon: How Aristotle Invented Science.” I read the first ten pages and it seemed decent. I notice that the author cites Allan Gotthelf as a renowned Aristotle scholar which is promising.
  
  http://www.amazon.com/Lagoon-How-Aristotle-Invented-Science/dp/0670026743/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422226968&sr=8-1&keywords=the+lagoon
  
  The second book is “Aristotle’s Children.” I stumbled on this book after listening to Robert Mayhew’s lecture “Aristotle and the Renaissance.”

  There is a wonderful BBC video documentary of the Aristotle’s Lagoon book (available on youtube). Alan Gotthelf saw the video and loved it and contacted the author. He wrote a review of it on HBL.
  
  I have read a good chunk of “Aristotle’s Children” and it is a fantastic book. Harry Binswanger commented on it very positively in the past (on an HBL post, I think). The author is a crazy leftist, but that did not affect the book at all, in the part I read.

  There is a book on dissemination of Aristotle’s ideas by an Objectivist Burgess Laughlin. The title of book is “The Aristotle Adventure“, and details can be viewed here – http://www.aristotleadventure.com/.
  
  Burgess has also written a critical blog on “Aristotle’s Children” which can be viewed here – http://reasonversusmysticism.blogspot.in/2013/07/bkrev-rubensteins-aristotles-children.html
