Scientifica Historica: How the World’s Great Science Books Chart the History of Knowledge
A book about books by veteran science communicator Brian Clegg
As a huge fan of images in books and particularly scientific texts, I find the almost overzealous use of images brilliant for making the text accessible. Using glorious, well-sized and high quality images, author Brian Clegg presents the story of science; from ancient cuneiform tablets to medieval handwritten books, the printing press right up to modern day academic texts and popular science.
