The Science Book Review
During the last few decades science and mathematics has developed so rapidly that it is difficult to comprehend the amount of effort that has gone through civilizations to reach at this point. There are many books that one can read about the history of science. Unfortunately, they all give a very descriptive report of how discoveries were made and invetions came through, leaving the reader unaware about the impact of other scientific discoveries during that period or in near past and future. This leads to understanding of the subject in a very closed manner. The Science Book addresses this problem besides informing the reader about what was the common understanding about the subject and how the discovery or invention came about.
The book is designed and written to make it appropriate for coffee/side tables. The content is concise, precise and well homogenized when it comes to information related to science of 'those days'. One thing that this book does very well is leave the reader excited about what happened next or are their any more 'stories' related to the topic - which is what the scientific quest is all about. Eventually reader will spend a lot of time on the internet exploring all the details pertaining to inventions/discoveries that are mentioned in the book.
It is a must have for all students of science. The book provides an insight about scientific developments over ages that will encourage the reader to explore the subject of their interest further. Language of the book is very simple and uncomplicated, making it readable for all age groups - even for bedtime stories.
