THE BOOK OF BIG SCIENCE IDEAS

Ideas are important. They change things. A single idea can start a war, save billions of lives, even rearrange whole planetary syste ms, or simply make a person giggle until they pee a little bit. They can be totally wrong but widely believed, or undoubtedly right and completely ignored. What's more, they're free, and anyone can have one - including you!The Book... looks at 15 brilliant science ideas and more than 50 ingenious thinkers who have helped shape our understanding of the world - whether they were right or wrong!
