New York Times bestselling author Edward Dolnick brings to light the true story of one of the most pivotal moments in modern intellectual history—when a group of strange, tormented geniuses invented science as we know it, and remade our understanding of the world. Dolnick’s earth-changing story of Isaac Newton, the Royal Society, and the birth of modern science is at once an entertaining romp through the annals of academic history, in the vein of Bill Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything, and a captivating exploration of a defining time for scientific progress, in the tradition of Richard Holmes’ The Age of Wonder.
Edward Dolnick is the author of Down the Great Unknown and the Edgar Award-winning The Rescue Artist. A former chief science writer at the Boston Globe, he has written for The Atlantic Monthly, the New York Times Magazine, and many other publications. He lives with his wife near Washington, D.C.

评分John Harrison太谦虚了,其实早就可以把奖领掉了
评分讲具体发明过程的前半本更有趣些,后半本稍显冗长。总的来说,这部书再一次证实了一个规律,超前于时代的创新及时再优秀,也要经过与既得利益者一翻艰苦的斗争,才能真正被大众接受。

评分又是一个夜晚,克洛迪斯爵士率领着五艘军舰,共两千名将士在锡利群岛附近的洋面航行。但是这个夜晚有点特别,浓雾笼罩着海面,辩不清方向,就连罗盘也没法为他们准确定位。几分钟后,四艘军舰相继撞上礁石,船员们还来不及反应,全都葬身海底,无一幸免。 自15世纪以来,随着...
评分 评分印象里几年前海南出版社还是南海出版社,曾经出过一版,但我读的是这个版本,很受用。从来没想过经度这个地球之网,曾经如此难以攻破。在古代,大清以前的古代,似乎我们样样都占了先机,难道郑和下西洋或者南洋的时候不是靠经度确定位置?这件事反正越想越晕,就连伟大的伽利...
