A Brief History Of Science

Vendido por Sebo Cultura Classica

• 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. • Shows how different branches of science relate to each other, and may ultimately coalesce in a ‘Grand Unified Theory’ of everything. • Reveals science for what it really is – a relentless curiosity born out of mystery and wonder.
