Chronology of Science by Lisa Rosner
This title offers the entire fascinating drama of exploration, discovery, invention, experimentation, hypothesis, and proof. How did ancient Celts use Stonehenge to map the skies? When did Arabs come up with the concept of zero? Who first observed the destructive power of germs?
