Though I've only read a few chapters, I was hooked. The infinite potentials of the human kind and the magic of science are beautifully illustrated in this book. I give 4 stars only because this edition is mega user unfriendly: tiny teeny itty bitty words packing together make me really uncomfortable.
评分mark's book
评分国内的此类书籍往往太简单,对科学家的评价不够全面,也没有考虑到具体的形势局限,于是科学史就成了单向线性的,“理智”与“愚昧”搏斗并不断取得胜利的历史。 这本书不一样,首先它给人很明确的“时期”概念,比如文艺复兴之前的“科学家”如哥白尼、维撒留、哈维是怎么研究科学的,第谷、伽利略他们又是怎样研究科学的,不但描述了他们的研究成果,更讲解了他们的方法论,让人认识到方法论的大背景及其重要性;其次他对科学家的评价比较客观,每个人的成就、局限都能讲出来龙去脉,让读者真正感觉到,科学是不断摸索、不断改进自身的过程;最后作者的语言非常浅显又生动,并没有使用太多复杂的单词,让普通读者也可以享受阅读原版优秀作品的惬意

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 Cat
In 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.
From the Hardcover edition.
