About This Item
Oxford University Press, 2003 8vo (24.5 cm), VIII, 380 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "Any literate person should be familiar with the central ideas of modern science. In his sparkling new book, Peter Atkins introduces his choice of the ten great ideas of science. With wit, charm, patience, and astonishing insights, he leads the reader through the emergence of the concepts, and then presents them in a strikingly effective manner. At the same time, he works into his engaging narrative an illustration of the scientific method and shows how simple ideas can have enormous consequences." (from the publisher's description)
