Sinopsis

Using essays, arguments and investigations by scientists such as Darwin, Huxley and Fabre, this text plots the development of modern science from Leonardo da Vinci to the chaos theory. It explores areas as diverse as da Vinci's observations of nocturnal birds to Asimov's explication of black holes.

Críticas

Carey has put together a wonderful collection...His introduction is a piece of science writing that should in its own right occupy a central place in any future anthology...[His] scholarship is enviable...The mixture is deliciously rich.--Lewis Wolpert "Sunday Times [UK] "

Reseña del editor

Plotting the development of modern science from Leonardo da Vinci to Chaos Theory, John Carey chooses accounts by scientists themselves that are both elegant and arrestingly written. The classic science-writers are here: Darwin, Huxley, Fabre. So, too, are the luminaries of the late-twentieth-century genre of popular science-writing which, Carey argues, challenges contemporary poetry and fiction in its imaginative power.
