Take a fascinating journey through the history of science with this beautifully illustrated full-colour guide for curious young readers. The Story of Science explores the development of scientific thought in both East and West from antiquity to the modern day: from the ancient Mediterranean world to the Chinese invention of gunpowder, paper, and the printing press; from the Scientific Revolution of sixteenth and seventeenth century Europe, the Space Race, and the development of the Covid-19 vaccine in 2020.
