The Last Man Who Knew Everything by Andrew Robinson
Physics textbooks identify Thomas Young (1773-1829) as the experimenter who first proved that light is a wave. Young's character has a quality all but lost in our narcissistic culture. This is the story of a driven yet modest hero, someone who could make the grandiose claim to have been the last man who knew everything.
"The best biography I have read for many years" - Patrick Moore
