There is very little that science does not seek to explore and define. In An Illustrated History of Science, Mary Cruse takes readers on a fascinating journey through the development of the discipline and the many strands that it covers - from the development of agricultural tools to the study of the weather and the construction of philosophical theories that influenced civilisations' views of the world, to the evolution of astronomy, physics, biology, engineering and industry. While the story moves forward chronologically, each chapter also focuses on different themes and how they emerged as subjects in their own right and continue to fascinate scientists and researchers to the present day. Beautifully illustrated in full colour with both historic and contemporary images, there are also helpful timelines, information boxes and features that provide extra profiles of key characters, inventions and events that have all contributed to make the history of science such a rich and impactful subject.
