A Century of Nature brings together in one volume Nature's greatest hits-reproductions of seminal contributions that changed science and the world, accompanied by essays written by leading scientists (including four Nobel laureates) that provide historical context for each article, explain its insights in graceful, accessible prose, and celebrate the serendipity of discovery and the rewards of searching for needles in haystacks. 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects$xHistory 606 $aDiscoveries in science 606 $aScience and civilization 610 $anatural world, outdoors, discovery, science, scientific, scientist, life changing, international, global, worldwide, history, historical, breakthrough, magazine, journalism, journalist, publishing, publication, essay collection, essays, nobel prize, context, culture, cultural, explained, easy to understand, africa, origins, electron, wave, atom, matter, nuclear, laser, t cell, dna. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aDiscoveries in science. 615 0$aScience and civilization. 676 $a500 686 $aTB 2385$2rvk 701 $aGarwin$b Laura$01599792 701 $aLincoln$b Tim$01599793 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823691703321 996 $aA century of nature$93922646 997 $aUNINA
