The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science by Richard Holmes

3.0

For the word being right there in the title, there just wasn't much "wonder" in this book. While science/history reading is made better by including the human element involved, this book got bogged down in too much minutia of the personal lives - where they lived, how they grew up, who their parents were.
