This anthology draws out and distills science's love of narrative
from a wide range of scientific disciplines, weaving theory into
very human stories and delving into the humanity of theorists and
experimenters as they stood on the brink of significant
discoveries. From Archimedes' bath to Newton's apple, these vivid
accounts of scientific discovery explore the principles behind each
theory and add to the larger narrative of how the universe works.
Including Joseph Swan's original lightbulb moment, Einstein's
revelation on a Bern tram, and Pavlov's identification of
personality types thanks to a freak flood in his St. Petersburg
lab, this record brings these eureka moments to life and explains
the science behind them to the general reader. Contributors include
Kate Clanchy, Stelly Duffy, Maggie Gee, Sarah Hall, Alison MacLeod,
Sara Maitland, Sean O'Brien, Prof. Jim al-Khalili, Jane Rogers, and
more.
