A wonderfully readable account of scientiﬁc development over the past ﬁve hundred years, focusing on the lives and achievements of individual scientists, by the bestselling author of In Search of Schrödinger’s CatIn this ambitious new book, John Gribbin tells the stories of the people who have made science, and of the times in which they lived and worked. He begins with Copernicus, during the Renaissance, when science replaced mysticism as a means of explaining the workings of the world, and he continues through the centuries, creating an unbroken genealogy of not only the greatest but also the more obscure names of Western science, a dot-to-dot line linking amateur to genius, and accidental discovery to brilliant deduction.By focusing on the scientists themselves, Gribbin has written an anecdotal narrative enlivened with stories of personal drama, success and failure. A bestselling science writer with an international reputation, Gribbin is among the few authors who could even attempt a work of this magnitude. Praised as “a sequence of witty, information-packed tales” and “a terriﬁc read” by The Times upon its recent British publication, The Scientists breathes new life into such venerable icons as Galileo, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Linus Pauling, as well as lesser lights whose stories have been undeservedly neglected. Filled with pioneers, visionaries, eccentrics and madmen, this is the history of science as it has never been told before.

John Gribbin has written a marvelous book that describes how men and women discovered the mechanics of the world they live in. This is the story of science and scientists, beginning in the Renaissance up to the present day. He tells us about men like Galileo and Newton and Darwin—what drew them to the study of science, how they learned, explored, argued with each other, and built upon each other's discoveries. He covers all the branches of science, including astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology and geology, and how these sciences built upon each other to come to a rounded sense of the physical world and how it works.Just two caveats. Like many scientists, Gribbin can be obsessive about data. He tells us not just the year but the month and day when his subjects were born—as if that made a difference. One wonders: Will he mention the hour of birth too? Then one reads, "Robert Hooke was born on the stroke of noon on 18 July 1635 . . ." Who cares? Obsessions with minutiae such as this can obscure the larger narrative. Second, Gribbin is so invested in empirical science that he regards all that came before as mysticism and superstition. However there are other ways of knowing. Art, poetry, philosophy--and yes, religion--are not false for being non-empirical. They can be legitimate ways of coming to the truth, and valuable correctives in an age when science is king.
