William Bynum A Little History of Science review en recensie
- “One advantage of a brief history is that this impressive roll of modern achievements unfolds while the leaps of prior centuries are still fresh in mind. That juxtaposition of what we know now verses what we knew then is breathtaking to contemplate. In Mr Bynum’s telling, a little history goes a long way.” (Alan Hirshfeld, Wall Street Journal)
Flaptekst van het boek over de geschiedenis van de wetenschap
A lively and engaging introduction to the progress of science over the ages.
Science is key to understanding the infinite distances of space, the tiniest living organisms body and the history of our planet. From Hippocrates and Aristotle to Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawking, men and women have asked how things work, and through experiments have made earth-shattering discoveries.
This inviting Litte History takes readers to the stars. We delve beneath the surface of the planet, chart the evolution of chemistry’s periodic table, and explore the physics that explain electricity, gravity, and the atoms that make up our bodies and everything around us.
William Bynum is Emeritus Professor of the History of Medicine, University College London. He is author or editor of numerous publications, including Great Discoveries in Medicine.
