Description
This volume unpacks the history of science from the new sciences of the seventeenth to the twenty-first century allowing students and general readers to see the impact science has had on our worldview across the centuries providing them with a deeper understanding of the history of science
The book offers two parallel narratives, a chronological explanation of the development of science, followed by an investigation into what impact this same period in the sciences had on the answers people gave to the “big questions” of human existence. Providing a in depth but very accessible guide to both sides of scientific enquiry.
Covers all the key figures in the history of science such as Galileo, Descartes, Isaac Newton, Darwin and Einstein as well as lesser known men and women who have developed the field. Allowing readers to see the range of people in each discipline and how their contribution shaped and influence science and the world around them.
