by Bryson, B. (Ed.)

Publisher : Harper Press
Illustrations : col illus

Description:

Edited and introduced by Bill Bryson, with contributions from Richard Dawkins, Margaret Atwood, Richard Holmes, Martin Rees, Richard Fortey, Steve Jones, James Gleick and Neal Stephenson amongst others, this beautiful, lavishly illustrated book tells the story of science and the Royal Society, from 1660 to the present. Published to mark its 350th anniversary, and with unrestricted access to the Society's archives and photographs, 'Seeing Further’ shows that the history of scientific endeavour and discovery is a continuous thread running through the history of the world and of society - and is one that continues to shape the world we live in today.
