Before Big Science
This book seems like it's partially a history of science and partially a science textbook. Since I'm not a massive science geek, a lot of it went over my head. When she's discussing the history of scientific revolutions, or the people behind them, I got it; but when she starts going into technical details about the scientists' findings, and their equations, my brain glazed over. Unfortunately, I glazed over more than I got it.
