An absorbing and easy-to-read introduction to the growth of scientific ideas and knowledge since 1500. From Galileo, Newton and Darwin to Ernest Rutherford, Neils Bohrand and Linus Pauling, it presents the scientists who have hypothesised, experimented and revealed the physical workings of our world. It spans disciplines as broad as astronomy, paleontology, chemistry, mathematics, geology, physics, biology and medicine. Each chapter covers a half-century, and the pithy 200-300 word stories are arranged chronologically.
The dust cover has a small fold but other than that the book is in an excellent condition.
