This is an automatically translated description

If the mention of science makes you think of microscopes or test tubes, you're right. But only partially. Science emerged long before the advent of laboratories, and it was driven by human curiosity (spoiler alert: not always in the right direction). Did you know that the first "scientists" were priests? Or that we owe the emergence of distillation and alcoholic beverages to alchemists? Or that the periodic table was a prediction: it contained cells for elements that humanity would discover later? Or that Einstein worked in a patent office and was only interested in physics in his spare time? And so inspired was he that he won the Nobel Prize for this hobby. These are just some of the questions that Professor William Bynum answers.

For those who want to know the history of science, the lives of scientists, both popular and little-known. Thanks to the illustrations and easy writing style, the publication will be interesting for both teenagers and adults.

The book will inspire you to be more attentive, ask more questions, and maybe do science - not necessarily in a laboratory, with microscopes, test tubes, or neural sensors.
