Quantum Leaps. 100 Scientists who changed the World. Jon Balchin
Quantum Leaps. 100 Scientists who changed the World. Jon Balchin. 2014 ISBN 9781782126935. A delightful English book that does a great job of linking innovative thinking from Pythagorus to Tim Berners-Lee through the centuries. The author does a good job in that he takes what could be confusing information and distills it into easily managed amounts of concise readable information. I enjoyed the chance to review my understanding of theoretical physics, plus I picked up more information on the life-science front. Recommend this book to anyone who wants to add to his/her educated person background. Quite fascinating read that holds your attention and for me added to the desire to learn more about some of these interesting characters.
