| | | From the acclaimed "New York Times" science writer Johnson comes an irresistible book on the ten most fascinating experiments in the history of science.
Annotation:
George Johnson, a science writer for the New York Times, goes back before the days of massively funded research facilities to explores the lives and works of 10 scientists and their experiments that helped crack the shell of human ignorance. Some are famous stories, such as Pavlov's dogs, that take on new life in Johnson's insightful treatment. Others are more obscure, but equally revelatory and full of narrative vitality.
