A comprehensive overview of the interconnections between the history of western civilization and the history of science, this volume examines the evolution of science and scientific thought from ancient times to present. Framed in a lively narrative style, the book also explores the human side of science, fundamental concepts and models in all sciences, and the general ideas behind scientific developments.
