Isaac Asimov’s Book of Science and Nature Quotations by Isaac Asimov
Requirements: .PDF reader, 14.4 MB
Overview: An essential reference tool that picks up where Bartlett’s leaves off, the Book of Science and Nature Quotations is a unique compendium of over 2,000 fascinating reflections on every discipline of the sciences, from aeronautics to zoology, dating from the eleventh century B.C. to the present day. As edited by Isaac Asimov, the preeminent science writer of his generation, it provides an accessible and enjoyable history of science in the words of its most illustrious practitioners, commentators, and critics—from Galileo, Newton, and Da Vinci to Einstein, Freud, and Curie. Here the reader will find the beginnings of aviation and the evolutionist controversy, the discovery of King Tutankhamen’s tomb and the computer revolution—in short, all the moments of great wisdom (and equally great ignorance) that have characterized and defined man’s search for knowledge throughout the ages.
Rather than a list of assorted facts and dates, the Book of Science and Nature Quotations is a treasury of provocative and exciting information that reveals the poetry of science—the ways in which our perceptions of ourselves and our environment have been modified and adapted over time.
