Black Bodies & Quantum Cats: Tales of Pure Genius and Mad Science - Jennifer QuelletteA surprisingly readable book about scientists and their stories behind their discoveries.
It starts from the Renaissance to the modern day. Where the mathematics and physics could get you burnt on the stake to today's high-stakes where scientists betray their craft and falsify data.
Quirky, informative and wonderful story-telling by the author to keep the reader's attention about Da Vinci's work to the theories of Einstein and how he inspired the current scientists to seek the building blocks of the universe.
A delightfully readable book about science. 3 1/2 out of 5.
