PRODUCT DETAILS
Description
A mind-expanding collection of books exploring key moments, ideas and pioneering figures in the history of science. Crossing scientific specialisms, each expert text is thought-provoking. Accessibly written, the set affords a fascinating ‘crash-course’ in key theories and multi-disciplinary developments. Mixing evolution and palaeontology; physics, mathematics and computer science; and engineering, electromagnetism and electrochemistry. Well-researched guides offer insight into the polymathic minds of Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), Michael Faraday (1791-1867), Alan Turing (1912-54), and Frank Whittle (1907-96). Discover how the bones of walking whales and feathered dinosaur fossils have revolutionised the hunt for evolution’s ‘missing links’; how the Copernican Revolution rocked the Ptolemaic view of the Universe and shaped modern science; and the pioneering genius of Michael Faraday; and how the 20th century was revolutionised by the innovations of Alan Turing and Frank Whittle.
The set comprises: ‘Written in Stone: The Hidden Secrets of Fossils and the Story of Life on Earth’; ‘Moving Heaven and Earth: Copernicus and the Solar System’; ‘Michael Faraday and The Electrical Century’; ‘Turing and The Universal Machine: The Making of the Modern Computer’; and ‘Frank Whittle: The Invention of the Jet’.
