The biggest discoveries... the most inquiring minds... the 40 most
inspiring super scientists of all time are here! Learn how these
scientists shaped the world in this fact-packed book from the 40
Inspiring Icons series. From Galileo Galilei's terrific telescope
discoveries, to Louis Pasteur's victorious vaccinations, to Ada
Lovelace's cracking computer codes, discover how each of these
scientists spent their lives asking questions and making leaps and
bounds in the world of science and technology. Beginning with the
Ancient Greek philosopher Thales, who discovered geometry and
astronomy, right up to the modern astrophysicist Neil deGrasse
Tyson, who has popularised complex scientific theories through the
use of simple language, these are the 40 super scientists to be
learned about by all: Thales; Pythagoras; Aristotle; Euclid;
Archimedes; Zhang Heng; Hypatia of Alexandria; Brahmagupta;
Avicenna; Alhazen; Roger Bacon; Nicolaus Copernicus; Galileo
Galilei; Johannes Kepler; Isaac Newton; William Harvey; Rene
Descartes; Antoine Lavoisier; Mary Anning; Michael Faraday; James
Clerk Maxwell; Charles Darwin; Gregor Mendel; Louis Pasteur; Dmitri
Ivanovich Medeleev; Ada Lovelace; David Hilbert; Marie Curie;
Ernest Rutherford; Albert Einstein; Niels Bohr; Alfred Wegener;
Alan Turing; Rosalind Franklin; HGP and the Human Genome; Vera
Rubin; Francoise Barre-Sinoussi; Tim Berners-Lee; Stephen Hawking;
Neil Degrasse Tyson. Each spread presents a single scientist,
highlighting key facts about their life, the scientific advances
they made, the applications for their discoveries and the
surrounding historical and social context, along with a fun,
illustrated depiction of them that calls out elements of their life
and the observational instruments they used. Each is a pioneer of
their age, but which scientist do you think is truly out of this
world? Each book in the 40 Inspiring Icons series introduces
readers to a fascinating non-fiction subject through its 40 most
famous people or groups. Explore these other great topics through
their most interesting icons: People of Peace, Greek Gods and
Heroes, Soccer Stars, Fantastic Footballers, Music Legends and
Black Music Greats.
