First Edition. 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.
