Book Synopsis A Brief History of Science by : John R. Gribbin
Book excerpt: This book : "outlines the key concepts forming the core of each major branch of science, and how they were developed ; reviews the achievements of all the major figures in the history of modern science from Galileo onward ; explains the ideas that upset our 'common sense' view of reality, from the weird behaviour of fundamental particles to the vastness of the universe ; explores the cultural consequences of scientific discoveries and ideas ; reveals science for what it really is - a relentless curiosity born out of mystery and wonder." -- back cover.
