Yale Science Brief History
About This Novel
Following the publication of E. H. Gombrich's "Little History of the World" translated from the 1935 German edition in 2005, Yale University Press has published a series of "Little Histories" covering many grand themes including this science. Science is wonderful. It tells us about the infinite extension of space, the tiniest living things, the human body and the history of our planet. How to perceive the world and use its power is an eternal theme of science. From ancient Greek philosophers, to Einstein, Watson and Crick, to today's computer-assisted scientists, humans have been thinking, testing, experimenting and calculating, and sometimes making earth-shattering discoveries that help us understand the world and humanity itself from a completely new perspective. "A Little History of Science at Yale" is a fascinating book that tells the story of a great adventure: the history of science. It leads readers to observe the starry sky through telescopes and understand that the center of the universe is the sun, not the earth; it goes deep into the surface of the earth, compiles a periodic table of chemical elements, and introduces the physics of exploring electricity, gravity, and atomic structure; it describes in detail the scientific pursuit of discovering DNA molecules and opening up new prospects for exploration. By narrating the surprising personal stories of famous and unknown scientists, "A Little History of Yale Science" chronicles the scientific journey across the centuries. The fresh illustrations and warm and popular writing style make it a popular science book suitable for all ages.
