Scientists - An Epic of Discovery

Scientific progress has always been driven by powerful individuals. The book you have in your hand tells the lives of these remarkable pioneers - from Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Darwin, Pasteur and Marie Curie to Einstein, Freud, Turing, Crick and Watson. These scientists, who were often contrarian thinkers, often had to fight against their opposing contemporaries to have their work recognized in order to leave their legacy to future generations.

Written by an international team of distinguished scientists, science historians and science writers, this book covers major scientific disciplines from astronomy to psychology. This book, which is organized based on theme rather than chronology, starts from the largest scale, "Universe", and progresses step by step to the smaller scale with "Earth", "Molecule and Matter" and "Inside the Atom". The last two chapters look at the phenomena of "Life" and "Body and Mind".

It contains engravings, paintings, photographs, sculptures and portraits of the forty-three extraordinary scientists mentioned. In addition, the book includes notes, drawings, diagrams, as well as letters that allow a more intimate look at the expeditions. Scientists will be of interest to budding scientists, those who find the lives of great people fascinating, and anyone who wonders how we have come to understand the physical world around us and within us over the centuries.

Accompanied by 220 illustrative illustrations.
