Reader Reviews:
A must-have for science buffs (11/11 people found this helpful)
This is a book that might sell better in a book store. Once you open it and look inside, you want it. In chronologocal order, every left page tells the story of a major science breakthrough from the Origin of counting 35,000 BC to the Human genome sequence 2000 AD. Every right page is a beautiful colour picture that goes with the story. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in popular science and/or science history. I also think it would make a great present, since it's really beautiful.
I have found a few minor mistakes in the text, which brings the rating down from five to four.
