This book is so much more than just the history of famous scientists. It brings you into their stories, helps you understand how they made their discoveries, and also touches on their flaws and misguided behaviours that make them no more than human. Some of the greatest discoveries in mankind have also led to the most disturbing and inhumane inventions. The last few chapters turn the book back onto ourselves, and goes so much further than just retelling history.
