Overview

All of us see the world we live in, and wonder and marvel. Scientists see the world we live in, and use their genius brains to figure out how it all works, and create quantum leaps in human knowledge and achievement to take the human race forward and beyond what we thought was possible.The history of physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, medicine, and botany - these are all based on the hard work and sacrifices made by the men and women of science who spent hours, days, weeks, and years of their lives on them.This book celebrates the lives and work of many different categories of scientists: -- The early pioneers like Sir Isaac Newton, who saw deeper and further than other scientists of their time, and propounded scientific theories through blinding flashes of insight, that are taught to children in all schools today-- The geniuses from a century ago, like Madame Curie, who blended theory and experiment in a stream of creativity that transformed our world and existence-- Medical pioneers from Sir Joseph Lister to the many legends who have made breakthroughs in their research on the diseases that afflict human beings, and made it possible for all of us to have a better quality of life-- The many physicists who contributed bricks that built a solid foundation of quantum theory, from Dirac to Einstein, and from Bohr to PlanckMost of the scientists whose names are covered in this book are Nobel Prize winners in different fields; I have deliberately included a mix of the old and the new, so that you will discover the names of new scientists, just as you celebrate the lives and work of the ones whom you already knew about.Speaking of discovery, this book can serve as a great way for you to discover new horizons, and to hear about scientists whose names and work might not have been as familiar to you as the others; this makes this book both a puzzle book and a reference work. Subsequent books in this series will dwell on scientist biographies in greater detail, so stay tuned!I wish you the best
