This is an easy to read introduction to the growth of scientific ideas and knowledge since 1500 - from Galileo, Newton and Darwin to Ernest Rutherford, Neils Bohr and Linus Pauling.
You need no specialised knowledge of science to find interest and value in this unique book. The author's grasp of all spheres of science is so firm that he can explain complex ideas with startling clarity. Each chapter covers a half-century, and the pithy 200-300 word stories are arranged chronologically.
