Synopsis

Both a history of the great scientific achievements of yore and an explanation of the mind-boggling advances of the present day, this LIFE book is a fantastic voyage from beginning to end-the innovations and "Ureka!" moments that have changed humankind's progress on this earth. Medical breakthroughs and technological marvels, theoretical insights (step to the lectern, Dr. Einstein) and hands-on inventions (does Steve Wozniak make the cut?), this book is full of inspiration and surprise. Some things you know-the invention of the wheel be here, as will the cure for polio-but do you remember the dramatic stories behind these seminal events? The titanic figures parade Leonardo, Newton, Edison, Tesla, Madame Curie, the rocket scientists in America and Russia, the man in the wheat field who dedicated his life to finding a way to feed the Third World. Modern man lives in a world built on the foundations of scientific discovery. Here are 100 discoveries that mattered-mattered greatly.
