Description
From Euclid and Archimedes to present-day Nobel Prize winners, this book charts the great breakthroughs in scientific understanding. Each entry describes the story of the research, the significance of the science and its impact on the scientific world. There is also a resume of each scientist’s career along with their other achievements, sometimes - as in the case of Isaac Newton - in a completely unrelated field (laws of motion and the component parts of light).
