Excerpt from Makers of Science: Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy

Space has demanded a rigid limitation in the matter treated. No attempt has been made to include either the biological or the chemical sciences. For the same reason much of the history of physics and mathematics has necessarily been omitted, and the characters chosen for biographical treatment have been so chosen rather from the point of view of their suitability as pegs from which to hang the scientific history of their times than from any superiority over their contemporaries.
