Besprekingen

"Science a history" van John Gribbin is een goed leesbare en onderhoudende geschiedenis van de wetenschappen. Het verhaal begint bij het idee van Copernicus dat de aarde om de zon draait en loopt via wetenschappers als Kepler, Galileo, Newton en Darwin door tot het einde van de 20e eeuw met de quantummechanica, het onderzoek naar het DNA en de Big Bang. Iets minder boeiend dan "Ideeën" van Peter Watson, maar veel beter dan "Een kleine geschiedenis van bijna alles" van Bill Bryson.
