Science is fantastic. It tells us about the infinite reaches of space, the tiniest living organism, the human body, the history of Earth. People have always been doing science because they have always wanted to make sense of the world and harness its power. From ancient Greek philosophers through Einstein and Watson and Crick to the computer-assisted scientists of today, men and women have wondered, examined, experimented, calculated, and sometimes made discoveries so earthshaking that people understood the world—or themselves—in an entirely new way.
This inviting book tells a great adventure story: the history of science. It takes readers to the stars through the telescope, as the sun replaces the earth at the center of our universe. It delves beneath the surface of the planet, charts the evolution of chemistry’s periodic table, introduces the physics that explain electricity, gravity, and the structure of atoms. It recounts the scientific quest that revealed the DNA molecule and opened unimagined new vistas for exploration.
Emphasizing surprising and personal stories of scientists both famous and unsung, A Little History of Science traces the march of science through the centuries. The book opens a window on the exciting and unpredictable nature of scientific activity and describes the uproar that may ensue when scientific findings challenge established ideas. With delightful illustrations and a warm, accessible style, this is a volume for young and old to treasure together.

This book is worryingly full of inaccuracies. To take one of the more glaring ones: Anaximander certainly never suggested that the cosmos was made of fire. (Carlo Rovelli has written about Anaximander, explaining what he did teach, and why Bynum’s misrepresentation is so very dangerous).
You wonder where Bynum did his research, and why the proofreading of this volume was so inadequate.
I suppose Pliny the Elder was of the opinion that no book was ever so bad as to be totally without value. But occasionally one comes across a tome you need to think hard about.

No, not fire. He said firestarters - twisted firestarters.
