Description

Who were the greatest scientists throughout the ages and why? From Archimedes to Newton to Hawking, this book furnishes the fascinating answers. Selected with the help of prominent scientists and historians of science, the figures here represent the broadest range of accomplishment, whether physicists, astronomers, physicians, chemists, biologists or anthropologists. They include those who discovered the laws of motion, principles of chemistry, structure of the atom, shape of the universe, evolution of life, as well as the afflictions of both body and mind.Vivid biographical essays provide both historical and scientific context on lives and accomplishments.Figures throughout the whole history of scientific endeavour are given in order of ranking, whether (1) Newton, for establishing the laws of motion and gravity; (2) Einstein, for the theories of relativity; (3) Bohr, for discovering how the atom works... all the way to (100) Archimedes, to whom all modern scientists owe a debt of gratitude.Informed, provocative and full of useful information, this book is both a pleasure to read and a valuable reference for the general reader.ISBN:9781854879899
