"Full of interesting detail and anecdotage, a warm and readable history of a key era in science." --Kirkus"A portrait gallery displaying a group of remarkable characters who made important contributions to the rise of modern science in the seventeenth century...A lively and readable account." --Freeman Dyson,The New York Review of Books"Rich and readable" --The Times"This excellent work of popular science is a first-rate account of the seventeenth-century revolution in scientific perception that shook the world." --The Herald"What makes [Gribbin] the master of popular science writing, however, is not just his range, but also the perfect clarity that allows non-scientific readers to grasp some highly difficult, but essential, ideas.... His success is as much a matter of literary prowess as scientific acumen." --Scotsman Critique
