Chemistry, Earth, and Space Sciences (Library Binding)

This new reference series describes and illustrates through stimulating texts, feature boxes and chronologies, and innovative imagry, the lives, discoveries, and theories of great scientists and thinkers. While Nicolaus Copernicus and Galileo Galilei can be regarded as the the first modern scientists, particularly for their theories on astronomy, the discipline was later taken forward by Edwin Hubble and Stephen Hawking. This book also features the lives of the pioneering chemists.
