Who are the greatest scientists throughout the ages and why? From Archimedes to Newton to Einstein to Hawking. The Scientific 100 furnishes the fascinating answers. In vivid biographical sketches that provide both historical and scientific context, the author chronicles the lives and accomplishments of the world's most influential figures in science. And in the tradition of the Citadel Press 100 series, he then ranks them in order of influence. Chosen with the aid and consultation of prominent scientists and historians of science, these figures represent the broadest possible range of endeavor and accomplishment. The list is made up of physicists, astronomers, physicians, chemists, biologists, psychologists, and anthropologists. It includes those who discovered the laws of motion, principles of chemistry, structure of the atom, shape of the universe, evolution of life, as well as the afflictions of both body and mind.

Scientific 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Scientists, Past and Present
It's a collection of entries on each of the 100 scientists that the author ranks from 1 to 100 in terms of their significance, importance, and accomplishments in the sciences. It's almost exclusively focused on the physical sciences, which makes it weak in terms of living up to its title. Of course they are disputes about the rankings, but the biggest drawback comes in the last 15-20 or so where he includes some figures that don't seem to merit inclusion here as if he hastily tried to be more inclusive. The essays themselves are usually excellent.
