Readers will be fascinated to learn about a wide range of
scientists who have attained recognition or have demonstrated
unique abilities in a variety of scientific fields including
astronomy, mathematics, chemistry, physics, anthropology,
oceanography, botany and medicine.
Chronologically presented, this book begins with Pythagoras (c.
580 BC-c. 500 BC) and ends with Stephen Hawking (b. 1942 -). As
with all of the scientists featured in 100 Scientists Who Shaped
World History, both men sought answers to the physical world around
them. Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher and mathematician, coined the
word philosophy, believed that mathematics and nature were
harmonious and is best known for the Pythagorean theorem. Hawking,
an English physicist, combined the theory of relativity with
quantum mechanics to describe the properties of black holes.
As with the other titles in Bluewood's popular 100 Series, each
entry in 100 Scientists Who Shaped World History includes an
illustration or photograph and a locator map, accompanied by
concise, clearly written text -- teeming with facts and nuggets of
information. The book also has a complete index and trivia quiz.
Perfect for both the browser who wants to read material in quick
bites and for those who want to read the content
comprehensively.
