100 Ideas that Changed the World |
|
Every once in a while, an idea comes along that makes the entire world sit up and take notice. From the earliest understandings of our place in the solar system, via Darwinism, DNA, neutrons and quarks, right up to the theories that are pushing the boundaries of our knowledge today, we are forever propelled forward by our most gifted scientific minds.
In this fascinating book, former BBC Focus magazine editor Jheni Osman explores 100 of the most forward thinking, far-reaching and downright inspired ideas and inventions in history, each nominated by experts from all fields of science and engineering. With selections from established authorities such as Brian Cox, Patrick Moore, Richard Dawkins and Marcus du Sautoy, Osman covers topics as diverse as the Big Bang, vaccination, computing, radioactivity, human genomes, the wheel and many more.
Each essay looks at the logic behind these great inventions, discoveries, theories and experiments, studying the circumstances that brought them into being and assessing the impact that they had on the world at large. An intriguing and thought-provoking collection, 100 Ideas that Changed the World offers us a glimpse into the minds behind history's greatest eureka moments.
网友对100 Ideas that Changed the World的评论
One hundred experts select one hundred ideas that have changed the world. The ideas are predominantly from the areas of Science and Technology. The experts write short essays frequently relating the 'story of the idea' and how it came to be important. One has ideas which range from 'the wheel' to ' social networking' and cover in effect the whole range of human development. One of course also has ideas related to our understanding of the universe, and one of them discourses on the 'vastness' of the universe. There is space for exposition and enabling the general reader to grasp the idea, and understand its major significance. But there is no real space for consideration of the idea in depth. The work is competent and informative if not surprising or deep.
