Book Synopsis Eyewitness to Science by : John Carey
Book excerpt: Plotting the development of modern science from Leonardo da Vinci to Chaos Theory, John Carey chooses accounts by scientists themselves that are both elegant and arrestingly written. The classic science-writers are here: Darwin, Huxley, Fabre. So, too, are the luminaries of the late 20th-century genre of popular science writing.
