In To Explain the World, pre-eminent theoretical physicist Steven
Weinberg offers a rich and irreverent history of science from a
unique perspective - that of a scientist. Moving from ancient
Miletus to medieval Baghdad to Oxford, and from the Museum of
Alexandria to the Royal Society of London, he shows that the
scientists of the past not only did not understand what we
understand about the world - they did not understand what there is
to understand. Yet eventually, through the struggle to solve such
mysteries as the backward movement of the planets and the rise and
fall of tides, the modern discipline of science emerged.
