Customer Review: This is an audaciously fascinating and well-constructed history of the study of natural science and the people who have developed it. Unfortunately, Gribbin's occasional metaphysical claims aren't exactly scientific or logical or even consistent with the history and the insights that he unveils... more info
Customer Review: The book arrived it great shape without any damage. Book was brand new just as stated in the description. Also, the book arrived in the amount of time that was stated.
Customer Review: The main thesis of this book is to show how technology and science developed largely independently of each other throughout almost all of history. Science and Technology in World Literally is quite literally an undergraduate course book. In view of the complexity of the subject matter, I found this... more info
Customer Review: I urge all of you to use this study guide in addition to other history and social science study materials. The book does cover a lot of the exam material but this exam is worth 6 credits and you want to be prepared as possible. I scored a 61, but that was with a lot of studying.

This book was published in the late 1800's and it shows in its style which to me (a non-native English speaker) is a bit hard to follow. Nevertheless I... more info
Customer Review: This 656 p. compendium is the most comprehensive English-language chronology I have found in an intensive search over the past several years. Focused on science and technology, it has more than twice as many scientific events than the Grun "Timetables of History" compilation (which deals with many... more info
Customer Review: Looking through this book reminded me of the movie "A Beautiful Mind". A brilliant mathematician constructs a fantasy world complete in every detail. The only problem is that it doesn't exist, and that he's as mad as a hatter. Just two examples of the many "possibilities" suggested by our... more info
