Other editions of book Great Scientist & Their Discoveries

Nine remarkable men produced inventions that changed the world. The printing press, the telephone, powered flight, recording, and others have made the modern world what it is. But who were the men who had these ideas and made reality of them? As David Angus shows, they were very different - quiet, boisterous, confident, withdrawn - but all had a moment of vision allied to single-minded determination to battle through numerous prototypes and produced something that really worked. This is a fascinating account for younger listeners.

Galileo Galilei, Robert Boyle, Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, Charles Darwin, Gregor Mendel, Albert Einstein, James Watson, Francis Crick - how did the great scientists make their remarkable discoveries? And what kind of men were they?

Among them are the crucial discovery that the earth goes around the sun (Galileo), the principle of gravity (Newton), the evolution of the species (Darwin) and the principle of inherited characteristics or genetics (Mendel).
