This book tells the remarkable lives of the pioneers of science -
from Galileo and Newton, Faraday and Darwin, Pasteur and Marie
Curie, to Einstein, Freud, Turing, and Crick and Watson. A series
of seventy articles, written by an international team of
distinguished scientists, historians of science and science
writers, provides an unrivalled account of the lives and
personalities behind the greatest scientific breakthroughs of all
time. Organized thematically, starting at the 'Universe', and
moving smaller through the 'Earth' and 'Molecules and Matter' to
'Inside the Atom', with the final two sections looking at 'Life'
and 'Body and Mind', it covers all the major scientific
disciplines, including astronomy, biology, biochemistry, chemistry,
computing, ecology, geology, medicine, neurology, physics and
psychology, as well as mathematics. The Scientists will intrigue
budding scientists, those fascinated by the lives of great
individuals, and anyone curious to know how over the centuries we
came to understand the physical world around us and inside us.
