Seventeenth-century England was ravaged by civil war, plague, and fire, a world ruled by superstition and ignorance. But another tumultuous event was also taking place -a revolution in science. Gribbon gives us a gripping, colourful account of this time of discovery, explores the birth of the Royal Society, and brings its prime movers to life. This book shows how the triumph of the revolution that changed our world was ultimately not the work of one isolated genius, but of a Fellowship.
