书籍简介

你可以信赖的历史。本书的开篇讲述了从古代到启蒙运动的东西方科学故事：从古代地中海世界到古代中国；从中世纪不同学者的交流到中国发明的纸张和印刷机；从十六和十七世纪欧洲的科学革命到十八世纪的知识热潮。接下来的章节重点介绍了自十八世纪末以来日益专业化的科学故事，包括从迈克尔-法拉第到欧洲核子研究中心的实验室实验科学；从无畏的维多利亚时代探险家到二十世纪灵长类动物学家的自然探索；从天王星宇宙大爆炸理论的绘制；从拉马克、达尔文和华莱士到DNA的进化思想的影响；以及从詹姆斯-马克思韦尔到量子理论及其他理论物理学的故事。后面讲述了科学家如何将他们的工作传达给更广泛的公众，从1851年的大展览会到21世纪初的互联网。

Histories you can trust. The first part of the book tells the story of science in both East and West from antiquity to the Enlightenment: from the ancient Mediterranean world to ancient China; from the exchanges between Islamic and Christian scholars in the Middle Ages to the Chinese invention of gunpowder, paper, and the printing press; from the Scientific Revolution of sixteenth and seventeenth century Europe to the intellectual ferment of the eighteenth century. The chapters that follow focus on the increasingly specialized story of science since end of the eighteenth century, covering experimental science in the laboratory from Michael Faraday to CERN; the exploration of nature, from intrepid Victorian explorers to twentieth century primatologists; the mapping of the universe, from the discovery of Uranus to Big Bang theory; the impact of evolutionary ideas, from Lamarck, Darwin, and Wallace to DNA; and the story of theoretical physics, from JamesClark Maxwell to Quantum Theory and beyond.A concluding chapter reflects on how scientists have communicated their work to a wider public, from the Great Exhibition of 1851 to the internet in the early twenty-first century.
