Description
Science discoveries and the people who pioneered them are featured in this colourful book. For example, Robert Boyle, a great chemist of modern times, he showed that when a gas is compressed its pressure increases at the same rate. Likewise, Joseph Lister realised that surgery required great cleanliness measures and invented a carbolic spray to limit infections during surgery.
