About this ebook
"If I saw further than others," said Sir Isaac Newton, "it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants."
Science introduces one hundred of these giants-the men and women who, often in the face of extreme skepticism or worse, succeeded in extending the range of human knowledge through the profound nature of their achievements.
Ranging across the spectrum of scientific endeavor, from the cosmology of Copernicus and Galileo, through the medical revolutions of Hippocrates and Galen to the discovery of relativity and the construction of the World Wide Web, Science covers the fields of physics, biology, chemistry and genetics.
This is the story of the ideas that have shaped the world today, and the ideas that will shape the future.
