Theories, discoveries,\nand technologies—from relativity, the genetic code, and the periodic\ntable to synthetic drugs, nuclear weapons, and brain scans—have transformed\nthe physical world and our lives.\nCopernicus, Crick, Watson, Galileo, Marie Curie: these are some of\nthe forty pioneers behind modern science whose stories are explored\nhere. The scientists come from around the globe and represent multiple\nnationalities—American, English, German, French, Dutch, Czech,\nIndian, Japanese, and more. Often unorthodox thinkers, they frequently\nhad to struggle against hostile contemporaries to gain recognition for\ntheir ideas and discoveries.\nAll the major scientific disciplines are covered, including astronomy,\nbiology, biochemistry, chemistry, computing, ecology, geology, medicine,\nneurology, physics, and psychology, as well as mathematics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Robinson\u003c\/b\u003e has written more than twenty-five books on the arts and sciences.
