Book
Every once in a while, an idea comes along that makes the entire world sit up and take notice. From the earliest understandings of our place in the solar system, via Darwinism, DNA, neutrons and quarks, right up to the theories that are pushing the boundaries of our knowledge today, we are forever propelled forward by our most gifted scientific minds. In this fascinating book, BBC Focus magazine editor Jheni Osman explores 100 of the most forward thinking, far-reaching and downright inspired ideas and inventions in history, each nominated by experts from all fields of science and engineering. With selections from established authorities such as Stephen Hawking, Brian Cox, Patrick Moore and Richard Dawkins, Osman covers topics as diverse as the Big Bang, vaccination, computing, radioactivity, human genomes, Hadron colliders and, of course, E=MC2.
