The whole history of mankind is the history of the unceasing comprehension of the secrets of the world. Step by step, a step behind the step, a person rises to the tops of knowledge. And on this difficult path he makes new and new discoveries.
It is impossible to talk about all the discoveries – there are millions of them. Therefore, the author limited himself only to those of them, without which it is difficult to imagine our life today. The book talks about the discoveries of Pythagoras and Archimedes, about the laws of Newton and amperes, about the works of chemists Lavoisier, Bertolle, Gay-Lussak and Mendeleev, about the drawing geometry of Monge, about the evolutionary teaching of Lamarck, about the amazing rays of the X-ray, about the “random” discovery of the bacteriologist Flemp, about the theory of Einstein and about the theory Many, many friend.
The no less important task of the book is to give an idea of people who made these amazing discoveries. The author sought to show the human face of great discoveries and tell the reader about the fate of people whose names can now be found in encyclopedias.
