The Great Scientists: From Euclid to Stephen Hawking

This was advertised as an Audiobook - Audio CD but there is NO audio CD. Only a cd with images of clipart. Waited a month for it to arrive, so was unable to give as Christmas present. Totally wrong information - this is a book which unfortunately I cant play in a CD player!!!!

Good book lots of things to learn highly recommended for sicence lovers thank you

A superb series of semi potted histories. Very useful for reference and interesting for some of the less renowned characters who are probably most undervalued.

I am a physicist and most of this excellent little book was familiar to me. Given to me as a present I found it easy to read and it could well be appreciated by a non-scientist who wants to get a quick grasp of the history of science up to the present day. The one disappointment for me was the omission of the Nobel Prize winning physicist, Richard Feynman

A beautiful book with colour pictures throughout, this profiles all the most important scientists in history, from Euclid and the Greeks right up to the team that discovered DNA and the cosmology theories of Stephen Hawking. It explains their findings in language that I can understand and makes you realise that we would all still be living in the dark ages if it wasn't for the inquisitiveness of boffins like these.
