内容简介
从文艺复兴至20世纪末,科学从自然哲学中蜕变,发展成为一幅由多个学科分支绘就的壮丽划捲。本书把握住技术与科学理论相互促进这一脉络,将其如何环环相扣、渐进发展的历史娓娓道来。对于那些大科学家,本书也多有信而有征又色彩斑斓的深入细致描写。这是一部西方科学的历史,也是写就这一历史的科学家们的个人史。
From award-winning science writer John Gribbin, Science: A History is the enthralling story of the men and women who changed the way we see the world, and the turbulent times they lived in.
From Galileo, tried by the Inquisition for his ideas, to Newton, who wrote his rivals out of the history books; from Marie Curie, forced to work apart from male students for fear she might excite them, to Louis Agassiz, who marched his colleagues up a mountain to prove that the ice ages had occurred.
Filled with pioneers, visionaries, eccentrics and madmen, this is the history of science as it has never been told before.

Spectator
'A magnificent history ... enormously entertaining'

Economist
'We experience his subjects' triumphs and failures as if we knew them personally ... I found myself whizzing through the pages'
Sunday Telegraph
