[share_ebook] Fabulous science - Fact and fiction in the history of scientific discovery

Description

• Author: John Waller
• Publisher: Oxford University Press
• Pages: 321

Famous scientists often get a rather heroic image in later accounts of

their work. In Fabulous science John Waller looks at the truth behind some

of these stories. In the first part he looks at experiments such as

Eddington's eclipse expedition to test general relativity, and shows that

these weren't as conclusive as is often claimed. The second part looks at

how history has treated various scientists - for instance Alexander

Fleming, who is seen as the discoverer of Penicillin, despite not being

the first person to notice it's effects nor being responsible for its

development into a useful drug. Waller's examination of the details of

such stories makes for an informative and enjoyable read.

 Great book!
