Francis Bacon is one of the leading figures in the history of science ranking alongside even Isaac Newton. And yet, Bacon never made one major scientific discovery. His claim to fame rests on his status as the man to define scientific method. This fascinating account of his ambitions and achievements is not to be missed. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
