Edited and introduced by Bill Bryson, with contributions from
Richard Dawkins, Margaret Atwood, Richard Holmes, Martin Rees,
Richard Fortey, Steve Jones, James Gleick and Neal Stephenson
amongst others, this beautiful, lavishly illustrated book tells the
story of science and the Royal Society, from 1660 to the present.
Since its inception in 1660, the Royal Society has pioneered
scientific discovery and exploration. The oldest scientific academy
in existence, its backbone is its Fellowship of the most eminent
scientists in history including Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton and
Albert Einstein. Today, its Fellows are the most influential men
and women in science, many of whom have contributed to this
ground-breaking volume alongside some of the world's most
celebrated novelists, essayists and historians. This book
celebrates the Royal Society's vast achievements in its illustrious
past as well as its huge contribution to the development of modern
science. With unrestricted access to the Society's archives and
photographs, Seeing Further shows that the history of scientific
endeavour and discovery is a continuous thread running through the
history of the world and of society - and is one that continues to
shape the world we live in today.
