400 quotes from scientists and mathematicians. Blaise Pascal, Louis Pasteur, Rosalind Franklin, Marie Curie, Nikola Tesla, Ernest Rutherford, Alexander Fleming, Jonas Salk, Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Florence Nightingale, Stephen Hawking, Ivan Pavlov, Time Berners-Lee and many more. Each scientist's quotes are grouped together and the book is chronologically-ordered with the earliest scientists first, giving the reader a feeling of walking through the history of science and mathematics. 'Thoroughly absorbing. Really interesting to read quotes by famous scientists referring to other famous scientists." We owe so much to a small few scientists and mathematicians, their achievements and their tenacity and creativity in overcoming challenges. From Blaise Pascal's calculating machines to Tim Berners-Lee's world wide web; from Alexander Fleming's penicillin to Jonas Salk's polio vaccine..., from Ernest Rutherford's sub-atomic particles to J. Robert Oppenheimer's atomic bomb... Isaac Newton summed up the progress of science and mathematics: 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.' "I learnt so much. I had no idea that Nikola Tesla was such a genius." We can only guess what will come in the next hundred years of science. But maybe children who read these quotes will be inspired to do more than just watch and wait - maybe these quotes will inspire them to become involved. "The perfect gift for anyone wondering why they're attending school."
