50 scientific discoveries that changed the world by Michael Wenkart Pdf

Human beings have come a long way just in the two thousand years since the birth of Christ - without even looking at the millions of years before that when we descended from the trees and descended into humanity. Most of the advances made before about 5,000 years ago were just associated with simple survival of the species; but since then humanity has started to look at the world around them with more challenging and questioning eyes. The result has given us some remarkable and momentous insights which have propelled humanity to the position of superiority and control it now enjoys over the rest of creation and the planet. This book looks at some of the most important developments that have brought us to this pinnacle. And some which have us looking even further out to the stars.

Eureka! by John Grant Pdf

Galileo, Einstein, Curie, Darwin, Hawking--we know the names, but how much do we really know about these people?

And Darwin of course discovered the principle by which new species are formed, but his bold curiosity extended to the dinner table as well. (And how many people can say they've eaten an owl!) In Eureka! John Grant - author of Debunk It!, Discarded Science, Spooky Science and many others - offers fifty vivid portraits of groundbreaking scientists. From lutes and owls to astronomy and evolution, Eureka! explains how these scientific geniuses have shaped our understanding - and how they spent their free time as well.
