"Ball's fascinating book revels not just in the experiments of these early scientists, but also in their humanity, foibles and passions" (Ian Critchley Sunday Times)

"A wonderfully nuanced and wise study of the scientific revolution" (Guardian)

"Fascinating" (Daily Telegraph)

"Philip Ball’s scintillating history of curiosity brims with treats" (Nature Magazine)

A tour through the history of human curiosity, from its original condemnation as sin, blossoming through the lives of Galileo and Newton, to its current role central to modern society.
