Summary
The first part of this wonderfully readable science survey covers developments in the physical sciences in the first half of the twentieth century, a period that saw changes in ideas about the structure of the atom, the nature of light waves, outer space, and relativity. The second part of the book deals with the life sciences: microbiology, biochemistry, genetics, and archaeology, with each science linked with the lives of scientists studying it.
