discoveries in science

Explores how various mathematical theories and discoveries have offered deeper insight into the universe, demonstrating the link between the scientific world and the human mind.

Highlights key discoveries in life science, and features timelines showing how these ideas developed over time. Includes color photographs, a glossary, and further resources.

Looks at the history of science from two and half million years ago through the twenty-first century.

"Physicist Jon Grady and his team have discovered a device that can reflect gravity -- a triumph that will revolutionize the field of physics and change the future. But instead of Grady getting acclaim, his lab is locked down by a cover organization known as the Bureau of Technology Control. The bureau's mission: Suppress the truth of sudden technological progress and prevent the social upheaval it would trigger. Because the future is already here. And its rewards are only for a select few. When Grady refuses to join the BTC, he's thrown into a nightmarish high-tech prison housing other doomed rebel intellectuals. Now, as the only hope to usher humanity out of its artificial dark age, Grady and his fellow prisoners must try to expose the secrets of an unimaginable enemy -- one who wields a technological advantage a half century in the making."--From the back cover.

Examines revolutionary advances in mathematics, physics, science, chemistry, biology and medicine by revealing the lives of the people responsible for them.

"Explore this fascinating timeline history of life science! What are cells, heredity, evolution, ecosystems, and photosynthesis? Who first studied these concepts? And who later built on and expanded the work of those early thinkers?"--.

"Explore the fascinating history of earth and space science! What are Earth's systems, cycles, and resources? What are the solar system, lunar phases, and gravity? Who first studied these concepts? And who later used those early theories to develop these ideas further?"--.

Eureka! We have it and so can youa discovery-packed book that makes the world of physics understandable, engaging, and fun! And thats a very good thing, because physics is all around us, responsible for everything from why balls bounce to why the stars in the sky shineso we might as well understand and enjoy it. Chock-full of photos and diagrams, this book and its useful images further explain and expand upon the clear and informative text.

Looks as signigicant scientific breakthroughs, including cell biology, using energy, cloning, photosynthesis, and more.

A history of major discoveries in Earth and space science, presented in a chronological tour that guides readers through the historical progression of how scientists viewed the world. Includes biographies of key figures, coupled with fact boxes and sidebars that highlight the later implications of each discovery.
