Who are the great scientists throughout the ages and why? From Archimedes to Newton to Einstein to Hawking, The Scientific 100 provides the fascinating answers. In vivid biographical sketches, the author chronicles the lives and accomplishments of the world's most influential figures in science. And in the tradition of Citadel Press's 100 Series, he then ranks them in order of influence. Chosen with the aid and consultation of members of the New York Academy of Sciences as well as historians of science, the figures represent the broadest possible range of endeavor and accomplishment, from Isaac Newton, ranked number 1 for establishing the laws of motion and gravity, all the way to number 100, Archimedes, the ancient Greek to whom all modern scientists owe a debt of gratitude. As informed and provocative as its predecessors in the 100 Series, this unique book is both a pleasure to browse and a ready reference for the general reader. Fine paperback copy. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 504 pages; Description: xix, 504 p. : ill. ; 27 cm.
