Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. What do the discovery of the coffee bean, the invention of the aqualung, the perception of the importance of the size of the moon, the conquest of smallpox, and supersonic flight all have in common? They are milestones in the history of science, a saga that began before the ancient Greeks and one that will continue for thousands of years to come. These and other fascinating stories about the world's most important inventions and discoveries are featured in The Book of Scientific Anecdotes. This witty, informative, and highly readable collection includes more than sixty anecdotes chosen and edited by science writer Adrian Berry. Divided into eleven sections, the book covers topics ranging from man's exploration of the world - and space - to the revolution in communications, scientific martyrs, and "bogus science." It contains a wealth of fascinating, little-known facts and information, and anecdotes about people who have played crucial roles in the progress of science. You'll learn about Lucy, the woman who lived more than three million years ago, and J.S. Haldane, the only man to have tested safety in the mines by reciting Shakespeare. The scientific achievements of this century - relativity, quantum mechanics, nuclear power, genetic engineering, space travel, jet aircraft, desktop computers, and the beginnings of artificial intelligence - have swept away most of the predictions of the past. What do these breakthroughs mean for the twenty-first century? The Book of Scientific Anecdotes illuminates some of the inventions and discoveries that have changed the world, and the people who made them. Gathers anecdotes about famous scientific discoveries, important scientists, and innovative inventions. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
