This book is a collection of stories about how some of the greatest scientific discoveries and inventions were made - and there are over 100 of them described here! As part of his History of Ideas, the author has compiled very intelligible explanations of some scientific concepts (like black holes, Planck time, and pulsars) and descriptions of how some other things (like pasteurization and continental drift) work. Most of the book comprises actual historical articles written by the scientists themselves about their discoveries, with introductory editorial commentary by Hamblyn, including brief pen portraits of the scientists.
