Review # 1 was written on 2019-11-12 00:00:00 randall skiles A well written book that describes the history of chemistry and physics during a time of great development. The book discussed many key players and their theories. A background in basic chemistry and physics is helpful. Loved this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-07-01 00:00:00 Sheila Cook 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.
