Since ancient times, we have tried to make sense of our universe by
observing objects far beyond our abilities to see or touch - from
the smallest atom to the farthest star. This book covers, in
chronological order, all the key discoveries and remarkable minds
in each scientific field, including Aristotle's geocentric model of
the cosmos, Darwin's theory of evolution, Newton's theory of
gravity and Einstein's theory of relativity. Also included are
fascinating anecdotes about the lives of influential scientists:
learn how Ptolemy fixed his results to match his theories; Freud
used cocaine to expand his mind; and Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of
the World Wide Web, was banned from using university computers
after being caught hacking. Revealing how human curiosity knows no
bounds, and how the field of science has evolved over the last
2,500 years, this book breaks everything down into easily
digestible sections to give a broad overview of the fascinating
history of science.
