About this title

Synopsis

Uncover the strange side of science history. From Tesla's pigeon love to corpse reanimation attempts, this exploration of forgotten scientific ideas blends history, science, and philosophy. S. D. Tucker delves into technological utopias, scientific myths, and evolutionary dead-ends, revealing the bizarre experiments and eccentric minds that shaped our understanding of the world.

Discover the weird trials of brilliant men like Robert Boyle and Christopher Wren, and consider the ethical implications of their methods. This thought-provoking journey through the scrapheap of history is perfect for readers interested in:

Science history
Unusual experiments
Challenging assumptions

Explore the stranger side of science, where fact and fable intertwine, and prepare to question everything you thought you knew.
