First published in 1951 to coincide with the British Festival, this
book explores the developments in science which had occurred since
the Great Exhibition of 1851. Covering the full range of scientific
development which had emerged in that time - from fundamental
physics to evolution and genetics, and from geology to medical
surgery - this accessible collection of essays charts with
impressive comprehension and clarity the momentous changes which
had occurred in the pursuit of science since the mid-nineteenth
century, and ably demonstrates the appropriateness of citing the
twentieth century as the advent of the scientific age. A Century of
Science will appeal to those interested in the history of science,
those wishing to ground their knowledge of specific scientific
disciplines in a broader understanding of the subject, and also to
the general reader who values scientific progress and the questions
it continues to raise.
