"An engaging book Fara is to be commended for stepping back – way back – to assess the history of science in its entirety" "An impressive and commendable effort to square the circle, to tell science's history, from the beginning." "Wide-ranging and provocative Romps through history at a terrific rate."

Rather than glorifying scientists as idealized heroes, she tells true stories about real people – men (and some women) who needed to earn their living, who made mistakes, and who trampled down their rivals in their quest for success.įara sweeps through the centuries, from ancient Babylon right up to the latest hi-tech experiments in genetics and particle physics, illuminating the financial interests, imperial ambitions, and publishing enterprises that have made science the powerful global phenomenon that it is today. Instead of focussing on difficult experiments and abstract theories, Patricia Fara shows how science has always belonged to the practical world of war, politics, and business.
