“The Republic does not need geniuses.” These statements belong to the judge who sentenced one of the greatest scientists of 19th century France to the guillotine. Based on these words in his book, Steve Jones invites his readers to a journey that reveals the opposite. In the days of the revolution, when the foundations of modern physics, chemistry and biology were laid one after another, French scientists not only made innovations that transformed Paris into the scientific center of the world at the time, but also took part in political activities that would transform the society in which they lived.
