Not only were the practical details of daily life radically transformed by the application of scientific discoveries, but our very sense of who we are, how our minds work, how our world came to be, how it works and our proper role in it, our ultimate origins, and our ultimate fate were all influenced by scientific thinking as never before in human history. In The Age of Science, the former editor and publisher of Scientific American gives us a sweeping overview of the scientific achievements of the twentieth century, with chapters on the fundamental forces of nature, the subatomic world, cosmology, the cell and molecular biology, earth history and the evolution of life, and human evolution. Beautifully written and illustrated, this is a book for the connoisseur: an elegant, informative, magisterial summation of one of the twentieth century's greatest cultural achievements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerard Piel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 7.70w x 1.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465057559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2001 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2001 pg. 1406\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2001 pg. 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/11\/2001 pg. 29\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2001 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLJ Best Sci-Tech Books\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2002 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAsimov's Science Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/06\/2002 pg. 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2002 pg. 1440\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2001 pg. 19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGerard Piel\u003c\/b\u003e was a founder of the revived \u003ci\u003eScientific American\u003c\/i\u003e and served as its publisher from 1948 until his retirement in 1986.
