This lucid and captivating book takes the reader back to the early
history of all the sciences, starting from antiquity and ending
roughly at the time of Newton - covering the period which can
legitimately be called the "dawn" of the sciences. Each of the 24
chapters focuses on a particular and significant development in the
evolution of science, and is connected in a coherent way to the
others to yield a smooth, continuous narrative. The at-a-glance
diagrams showing the "When" and "Where" give a brief summary of
what was happening at the time, thereby providing the broader
context of the scientific events highlighted in that chapter.
Embellished with colourful photographs and illustrations, and
"boxed" highlights scattered throughout the text, this book is a
must-read for everyone interested in the history of science, and
how it shaped our world today.
