Natural science explained simply
Is science only for a select few? Certainly not! Human history is a history of exploration. We have always tried to find answers to everything. "The Science Book" provides a moving overview of the history and development of the natural sciences.
From its beginnings in 600 BC to the expansion of our horizons from 1700 to 1800 and the profound new discoveries of the last 50 years, the most important theories of physics, chemistry, biology and geoscience are presented in a clear and accessible way. Experiments and observations are discussed in an exciting way. They ultimately led to tremendous new discoveries!
The author, Adam Hart-Davis, studied chemistry and has worked as a science writer and television journalist for many years. He has been involved in numerous BBC series on scientific and historical topics and has published over 30 books. Together with other authors from the fields of science education and journalism, he has created a well-thought-out and easy-to-understand reference work.
