由比尔·布赖森编辑和引言，理查德·道金斯、玛格丽特·阿特伍德、理查德·霍尔姆斯、马丁·里斯、理查德·福泰、史蒂夫·琼斯、詹姆斯·格莱克和尼尔·斯蒂芬森等人的贡献，这本美丽、华丽的插图书讲述了从1660年至今科学和皇家学会的故事。自1660年成立以来，皇家学会一直是科学发现和探索的先驱。它是现存*古老的科学院，其骨干是历史上*杰出的科学家，包括查尔斯·达尔文、艾萨克·牛顿和阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦。

今天，它的成员是科学界*有影响力的男男女女，他们中的许多人与一些世界上*著名的小说家、散文家和历史学家一起，为这本开创性的书做出了贡献。这本书颂扬了英国皇家学会在其辉煌的过去所取得的巨大成就，以及它对现代科学发展的巨大贡献。通过不受限制地访问该协会的档案和照片，Seeing Further表明，科学努力和发现的历史是贯穿世界和社会历史的一条连续的线索，而且是继续塑造我们今天生活的世界的一条线索。

Edited and introduced by Bill Bryson, with contributions from Richard Dawkins, Margaret Atwood, Richard Holmes, Martin Rees, Richard Fortey, Steve Jones, James Gleick and Neal Stephenson amongst others, this beautiful, lavishly illustrated book tells the story of science and the Royal Society, from 1660 to the present. Since its inception in 1660, the Royal Society has pioneered scientific discovery and exploration. The oldest scientific academy in existence, its backbone is its Fellowship of the most eminent scientists in history including Charles Darwin, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein.

Today, its Fellows are the most influential men and women in science, many of whom have contributed to this ground-breaking volume alongside some of the world's most celebrated novelists, essayists and historians. This book celebrates the Royal Society's vast achievements in its illustrious past as well as its huge contribution to the development of modern science. With unrestricted access to the Society's archives and photographs, Seeing Further shows that the history of scientific endeavour and discovery is a continuous thread running through the history of the world and of society - and is one that continues to shape the world we live in today.
